EDD Account Shows Approved but No Direct Deposit - What's Going On?

Ugh, I've been there. The system is so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? Sometimes there's a glitch in their system and you need to talk to someone to get it sorted out.

Check your bank account info on the website. Sometimes they have the wrong routing number or account number, and that can delay things.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes the notification emails end up there. Also, it can take up to 10 business days for the first payment to hit your account after approval.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was an identity verification issue that I had to clear up. Definitely try to get someone on the phone if you can. In the meantime, make sure you've uploaded all the necessary documents to your online account.

The whole system is a joke. They approve you just to make you think everythings fine, then ghost you for weeks 🙄 Welcome to bureaucracy hell!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your bank info on the website 2. Look for any pending action items or messages in your online account 3. Check your email (including spam) for any communications 4. If it's been more than 10 business days since approval, try to contact them 5. Keep certifying for benefits weekly, even if you haven't received payment yet 6. Document everything - dates, times, who you spoke to if you manage to get through If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things through. Hang in there, the system is frustrating but you'll get your money eventually!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I'm in the exact same boat. Approved two weeks ago, still no money. This is so stressful 😓
