Hey everyone - just wanted to update that my payment just hit my account this morning (Wednesday) at around 5am. So exactly one day later than normal due to the holiday. Hope everyone else got theirs too!

Glad to see everyone's payments came through! This is such a common issue that happens every holiday - I've been dealing with EDD for over a year now and it catches me off guard every single time. You'd think they'd send out some kind of notice or at least put a banner on the website warning people about holiday delays. Would save everyone so much stress and anxiety! For future reference, I always check the federal holiday calendar at the beginning of each month so I know when to expect delays.

Glad to hear your payment came through! For future reference for anyone reading this thread: EDD payments typically follow this timeline: 1. Certification processing: 24-48 hours after you certify 2. Status changes to "paid" in UI Online: Usually same day or next day after processing 3. Bank of America processes the transfer: 24 hours 4. Your bank processes the incoming deposit: 24-48 hours depending on your bank So from certification to deposit can take 2-4 days in normal circumstances. Holiday weekends, system maintenance, or high volume periods can add delays. As long as your status shows "paid" in the portal, the money is on its way!

I'm new to the EDD system and just certified for the first time this past Sunday. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring! I was getting worried when I didn't see my deposit this morning, but it sounds like delays of a few hours are totally normal. My status shows "paid" so I guess I just need to be patient. Thanks everyone for sharing your timelines - it's so helpful to know what to expect as someone who's never dealt with this before!

Does anyone know if edd has a duty to notify claimants of interview for eligibility issues discovered at beginning of benefit year yet waited 18 mos after last payment . Subsequently they called and number was disconnected so they made determination to my acct for a staggering 25000$+ filed summary judgment to levy and garnish . I had no idea until I filed for ui recently. Just wondering if I can raise due process violation with superior court …

anyone else notice edd is WAY worse in 2025 than before?? my first claim in 2023 was processed in like 10 days. now everyones waiting months??? what happened??

I'm dealing with something very similar right now - filed in mid-January and my claim has been in limbo for 6 weeks. Same exact situation: $0 balance, no weeks to certify, dashboard looks completely empty. When I finally got through to someone last week, they told me there was a "pending issue" that required supervisor review but couldn't give me any timeline or specifics about what the issue actually was. What's really frustrating is that I have all my documentation ready - W2s, final paystub, separation letter - but there's nowhere to submit it because they haven't requested anything! I'm starting to think these "recompute" delays are just their way of managing the workload by making people wait indefinitely. I'm going to try some of the suggestions here, especially contacting my assembly member. At this point I've exhausted all the normal channels and need to escalate this somehow. The financial stress of waiting this long with zero income is really taking its toll.

To clarify a few points based on the discussion: 1. You can and should file for UI immediately after your regular paychecks end in March 2025. 2. How your severance affects your benefits depends on: - How your employer classifies and reports it - Whether it's a lump sum or installments - The specific language in your severance agreement 3. When you file, you'll need to report the severance package. Be prepared to provide your severance agreement documentation if requested. 4. Most importantly, be completely truthful in your application and certification. Misreporting, even accidentally, can lead to overpayment demands and penalties. Given the complexity of your situation, speaking directly with an EDD representative is your best course of action.

Good advice from everyone here! I'd also suggest documenting everything - keep copies of your layoff notice, severance agreement, and any communications with HR about the timeline. When you do file your UI claim, having all this paperwork ready will make the process smoother. One thing I learned from my own experience: if your severance is spread over multiple weeks, you might want to ask your HR department exactly how they'll be reporting those payments to EDD. Some companies report it as "wages" which can reduce your weekly benefits, while others report it as "severance pay" which has different treatment. Also, don't stress too much about the complexity - EDD deals with severance situations all the time. As long as you're honest and provide all the required documentation, they'll figure out how to handle your specific case. Just make sure to report everything when you certify for benefits!
