Will EDD release my second PFL payment if first direct deposit bounced due to wrong account number?

This happened to me last spring with my maternity leave payments. EDD will process your second payment on schedule to your newly updated bank info, but the returned payment takes about 10-14 days to be reissued after it bounces back to them. You'll eventually get both payments, but they'll be separated by a couple weeks.

omg same thing just happened to me!!!! i accidentally put my savings instead of checking & its so annoying. got a letter in mail saying payment was returned but nothing else

They ALWAYS hold both payments when this happens!! My sister's coworker had this problem last year and ended up waiting 6 weeks to get any money at all. EDD system is such garbage, they punish you for one tiny mistake. You should call them ASAP and demand they release at least one payment while they sort it out. They can do it manually if a supervisor gets involved.

I had exactly this problem two months ago with my PFL baby bonding. The second payment DID go through to my corrected account, but I had to call about the returned first payment. Took me 3 days of calling to reach someone who could help - their phone system is absolutely terrible! When I finally got through, they were able to reissue the returned payment within 48 hours. Have you tried Claimyr? It's the only way I managed to get through to an actual human at EDD. It connects you directly to an agent without the endless wait. Saved me so much stress with my newborn! Check out their demo at https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM?si=6N1iCQ3a8Cdb2Ay5 and their site at claimyr.com - it works for all EDD claim types including PFL.

when this happened with my disability before switching to baby bonding, the 2nd payment went through fine but the first one they had to mail as a paper check even tho I fixed the direct deposit. took about 3 weeks total

Ugh I hate when EDD messes up payments. I swear their system is designed to make everything as complicated as possible. Had a similar issue when transferring from pregnancy disability to bonding time. Get ready for hours of useless hold music if you try calling them!

Here's the official process: When a direct deposit is returned due to incorrect account information, EDD automatically places that specific payment in a special queue for manual handling. Meanwhile, your future payments will continue to process normally to your corrected account information. You should see your second payment deposit as scheduled tomorrow if you've already updated your banking information in the system. The first payment typically takes 7-10 business days to be reissued after it's returned to EDD. They may either redeposit it electronically or mail a physical check, depending on their internal processing. If you don't see your second payment tomorrow, or if it's been more than 10 business days since the first payment was returned, then you should contact EDD directly for assistance.
