After you certified..how long does it take to receive your second  benefit payment ...am I going to have to contact EDD after every time I certify

I found a way to solve EDD payment timing after certification, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QGadajFD8s

nho!

If you have a b of a card and it will go in directly that Sunday night around 10:30 or midnight.

Depends. Some people can certify every week, others are every two weeks. Once you certify, the payment usually shows up in Bank of America account within a few hours if you're certing online or over the phone. If you're sending mail, will take a week to receive payment. EDD system will also show paid with a reduction in claim balance.

To all those having trouble reaching a human at the EDD. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Based on my experience, after certifying online it typically takes 1-3 business days for the payment to hit your EDD debit card or direct deposit account. You shouldn't have to contact EDD after every certification - once you're in the system and certifying regularly, payments should process automatically. However, if you notice your payment status shows "pending" for more than a week, or if there are any issues with your claim, then you might need to call. The key is to certify consistently every two weeks when prompted and keep an eye on your claim balance and payment history in your online account.

From my experience, after your first certification it usually takes 2-3 business days for the payment to appear on your EDD debit card. For subsequent certifications, it's typically faster - often within 24-48 hours if you certify online. You shouldn't need to contact EDD after every certification unless there's an issue. The system should automatically process your payments once you're established. Just make sure to certify on time every two weeks and monitor your online account to ensure payments show as "paid" rather than "pending." If a payment gets stuck in pending status for more than a week, that's when you'd want to call.

Just wanted to add my recent experience - I certified this past Sunday and the payment hit my Bank of America EDD card Tuesday morning around 9 AM. So it was about 36 hours total. This was my third certification and each time it's been pretty consistent with that 1-2 day timeline once you're established in the system. The first payment did take a bit longer (about 4 days), but after that it's been smooth. One tip: I always certify early Sunday morning and it seems to process faster than when I wait until later in the day. Hope this helps ease some anxiety for folks waiting on their payments!

I'm currently going through this process myself and can share what I've learned so far. After my first certification, it took about 5 business days to receive the payment, which had me pretty worried initially. But I've noticed that subsequent payments have been much faster - usually 2-3 days max. The key thing I've learned is to not panic if the first payment takes longer, as it seems like there's additional processing time for new claims. Once you're in the system's rhythm, you definitely shouldn't need to contact EDD after every certification. Just make sure to certify consistently every two weeks and keep checking your online portal to ensure your payments show as "paid" rather than stuck in "pending" status. If you see "pending" for more than a week, that's when it's time to call.
