Certified for EDD benefits yesterday but no payment showing in portal - wait or call?

same thing happened to me last month dont worry itll show up tommrow or weds. EDD systems are slowwww after weekends

This has been happening a lot lately. The EDD system is experiencing delays with weekend certifications. I certified Sunday morning and mine didn't appear until Tuesday afternoon last week. If you received a confirmation number, your certification went through - the system is just backed up. I'd give it until Wednesday before calling. If you need to reach them, I had great luck with Claimyr (claimyr.com) after wasting hours trying to get through myself. They got me connected to an EDD rep in under 20 minutes when I had a similar issue with a delayed payment. They have a demo video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km

This happens when the EDD system is running their quarterly maintenance updates. The certification system and payment processing system temporarily desynchronize. Since you have your confirmation number, you're fine - the certification is in their system. Here's what happens next: 1) Within 48-72 hours, your UI Online account will update showing the certification 2) It typically goes straight to "paid" status rather than pending in these situations 3) Payment to your Money Network card or direct deposit usually happens 24 hours after that If you don't see ANY update by Thursday morning, then it's time to call. But 99% of the time these delayed weekend certifications resolve themselves by midweek.

DONT WAIT!!!! Call them ASAP!!! My certification disappeared for 3 weeks and I waited too long thinking it would just "show up" and ended up with a huge mess and penalty weeks!!! The system is broken and they won't fix it unless you get a human on the phone who can see what's happening!!!

What day of the week do you normally certify? I've found that certifying on Sundays often creates delays in processing compared to certifying on the assigned certification day. Also, have you checked if there are any outstanding questionnaires or forms you need to complete in your UI Online inbox? Sometimes those can hold up payment without any obvious notification.

my brother works for edd (not supposed to tell anyone lol) says they're doing system updates this week and lots of weekend certifications are delayed. shouldnt be anything to worry about!

UPDATE for anyone finding this post later: The most likely explanation is the Monday holiday (Memorial Day) causing processing delays. EDD typically takes 48-72 hours after holidays to catch up on certifications. Since you certified on Sunday before a holiday, expect things to take 1-2 days longer than usual. Still recommend waiting until Thursday before calling.
