Certified for EDD benefits on Sunday - when will payment hit my account?

Generally, if you certified on Sunday with no issues or pending items on your claim, your payment should process overnight Sunday into Monday. This puts it into "paid" status by Monday. Then it typically takes 24-48 hours for the funds to appear in your account via direct deposit, depending on your bank. So most people see funds by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. However, if your certification has any flags or issues that need review, it could take longer. You can check your UI Online account to see if your payment status has changed from "pending" to "paid" - that's your best indicator.

mine usually hits on tuesday morning but sometiems wednesday. depends on ur bank too. chase is pretty fast but i had BofA before and it was slower

If your payment is still showing as pending beyond 72 hours after certification, you may want to contact EDD directly. A few things that can delay payment: 1. You reported earnings that need verification 2. This is a new claim year for you 3. There's an eligibility interview pending 4. You answered "no" to being available for work 5. System glitches (rare but happens) Best bet is to check your UI Online homepage for any notifications or alerts. If nothing there, call EDD. Have your account info ready when you call.

I had this EXACT problem last month and it drove me CRAZY!!!! I certified on Sunday and it was still pending on Thursday!!!! Had to call EDD like 27 times before getting through. Turns out they had a "quarterly review" flag on my account whatever that means. The rep fixed it in like 2 minutes once I finally got someone. BUT GETTING THROUGH IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

I was in a similar situation a few weeks ago where my payment was stuck in pending. After trying all morning to get through to EDD with no luck, I used a service called Claimyr that got me connected to an EDD agent in about 20 minutes. It basically keeps redialing for you until it gets through. They have a demo video on how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The EDD agent told me there was a verification hold on my account because I reported some part-time work. Once I talked to someone, they released the payment right away. You can check them out at claimyr.com - definitely worth it to avoid spending all day trying to call in.

did u check if u have enough money in your claim balance? i thought mine was delayed once but actually ran out of benefits lol. also check if ur BYE (benefit year end) has passed because that can cause delays too

Since you mentioned reporting part-time work, that's almost certainly the reason for the delay. The system often flags certifications with reported earnings for manual review, especially if it's the first time you're reporting earnings on this claim. In my experience, this usually adds 2-3 extra business days to the processing time. But if it goes beyond Thursday without changing to paid status, you should definitely call EDD. Your reported earnings could be causing a discrepancy that requires clarification.

glad it worked out! ya first time reporting work always slows things down. happens to me every time i pick up temp work

Great to hear it finally switched to paid status! For future reference, whenever you report earnings on your certification, it's totally normal for the payment to take an extra day or two to process. The system has to calculate your reduced benefit amount based on the earnings formula (they deduct 75% of your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount, but you still get to keep the first $25 without any deduction). Since you're with Chase, you'll probably see the direct deposit hit your account by tomorrow morning. Chase is usually pretty quick with EDD payments once they're in paid status. Just a heads up - keep track of your total earnings each quarter because once you hit a certain threshold, EDD might require additional documentation or review. But sounds like you're all set for now!

Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been on unemployment for about 8 months now - the part-time work reporting delay is SO common and honestly one of the most frustrating parts of the system. What I've learned is that if you're going to be doing any gig work or temp jobs regularly, try to report your earnings consistently each certification period (even if it's $0 some weeks). The system seems to get less "suspicious" when there's a pattern vs. sporadic earnings that come out of nowhere. Also pro tip: always round your gross earnings UP to the nearest dollar when reporting. If you made $127.50, report $128. EDD prefers whole numbers and it can sometimes prevent weird calculation errors that trigger manual reviews. And definitely keep screenshots of your "paid" status changes - I've had payments disappear from my payment history before and having that proof saved me hours on the phone with EDD trying to sort it out!

Another thing to keep in mind - if you're consistently doing gig work while on unemployment, consider setting up a simple spreadsheet to track everything. I learned this the hard way after getting confused about which weeks I worked and almost double-reported earnings one time. I track: date worked, company/client, gross amount earned, and which certification period it falls under. This has saved me so much stress because EDD asks for the earnings during the week you actually worked, not when you got paid. So if you worked Monday-Wednesday but didn't get paid until the following week, you still report those earnings for the week you actually did the work. Also totally agree with what others said about Chase being fast with deposits - usually see mine by Tuesday morning when everything processes normally. Hang in there with the rent situation, sounds like you should be good to go soon!

Just wanted to add my experience as someone who's dealt with this exact situation multiple times - when you report part-time earnings for the first time on a claim, EDD's system almost always flags it for manual review. It's super annoying but totally normal. What I've found is that the delay is usually 24-48 hours longer than a normal certification. So if you normally get paid by Tuesday, expect it Wednesday or Thursday when you report earnings. The good news is that once you've reported earnings a few times on the same claim, the system "learns" your pattern and the delays get shorter. One thing that might help for future certifications - try to certify as early as possible on Sunday (like midnight or early morning). I've noticed that certifications submitted later in the day sometimes don't start processing until Monday night instead of Sunday night, which pushes everything back another day. Also, since your payment is now in "paid" status, you should definitely see the deposit by tomorrow morning with Chase. Their EDD deposits usually hit between 2-6 AM on the day after it shows as paid. You should make your rent deadline no problem!
