EDD Direct Deposit showing paid but no money in account - payment delays?

ya this happens sometimes, edd systems r slow. sometimes takes 2-3 business days even tho they say paid. check again tomorrw

This sounds like the system glitch that happened to me last month. EDD's payment processing system and their claim history system don't always sync properly. Here's what might be happening: 1. Your certification was approved (showing "paid" in claim history) 2. But the actual payment processing might be delayed (not showing in payment activity) If your Bank of America EDD card is still active, check there as well. Sometimes EDD reverts to card payments if there's an issue with direct deposit information. If nothing shows up after 3 business days, you should contact EDD directly to check if there's a problem with your payment method settings.

THE SAME EXACT THING just happened to me!!! Certified Sunday, shows PAID in history but nothing in payment activity and NO MONEY in my account!! This is day 3 now and I'm FREAKING OUT because rent is due and I have NO OTHER INCOME!!! Did yours finally come through? I'm seriously panicking right now!!

I've seen this happen when EDD is doing verification checks on claims. If your identity verification (ID.me) is coming up for renewal or they're doing a quarterly review of your claim, payments can show as paid but then get delayed in actually processing. Check these things: 1. Is your mailing address up to date in UI Online? 2. Have you received any text messages or emails from EDD you may have missed? 3. Did you report any income or special circumstances on this certification? If the money doesn't show up by day 5, you definitely need to contact EDD. The challenge is getting through to someone who can actually help with payment issues, not just the general support line.

I had this happen last week! I finally managed to speak with an EDD rep by using Claimyr (claimyr.com). It basically gets you through the phone system so you don't have to keep calling and hitting redial. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Turns out in my case there was a payment flag on my account because my bank had recently updated their routing number and it triggered their fraud prevention system. The rep was able to clear it while I was on the phone and my money arrived the next day. Definitely worth getting through to an actual payment specialist rather than just waiting and hoping.

this EXACT thing happened to me last year!! so annoying!! i had to wait 8 days and then suddenly money appeared with no explanation. edd is the worst with communication seriously

Update us when your payment comes through! These data points help everyone understand what's happening with the system. EDD is notorious for not announcing when they're doing system maintenance or updates that affect payment processing. Also, for anyone facing this issue: take screenshots of both your claim history showing "paid" and your payment activity tab. This documentation can be crucial if you need to escalate the issue later.

One last thing to check - log out completely from UI Online and log back in. Sometimes the payment activity doesn't update on your screen until you do a fresh login. I've had situations where the money was actually in my account but the UI Online payment activity hadn't updated to show it yet.

This is exactly why I always recommend people check their UI Online status with a fresh login when payments seem delayed! EDD's system has so many display glitches that can cause unnecessary panic. I've been on unemployment twice over the past few years and learned this trick the hard way after spending hours on hold with customer service only to find out the payment was processing normally - it just wasn't showing up on my screen properly. For anyone else experiencing this issue: try clearing your browser cache too, not just logging out and back in. Sometimes cached data can prevent updated payment information from displaying correctly. Also, if you're using a mobile device, try switching to desktop or vice versa - I've noticed the mobile version of UI Online sometimes lags behind the desktop version in showing payment updates. Really glad this got resolved for everyone! These kinds of posts are so valuable for the community because EDD's communication about system issues is practically non-existent.

New to this community but wanted to share my recent experience since it seems relevant! I had the exact same issue two weeks ago - claim history showed "paid" but nothing in payment activity and no money in my account. Like others mentioned, I tried logging out and back in multiple times but it didn't help initially. What finally worked for me was waiting until the next business day and then logging in from a completely different device (switched from my phone to my laptop). Suddenly everything showed up correctly - the payment was actually processed the day before but just wasn't displaying properly on my phone. Got my deposit the following morning as usual. I think EDD's system has some serious browser/device compatibility issues that they don't acknowledge. Now I always double-check payment status on both mobile and desktop before panicking. It's ridiculous that we have to work around their technical problems like this, but at least there are usually simple solutions once you know the tricks! Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - this thread would have saved me hours of stress if I'd found it earlier.

Just want to add another data point here - I experienced this exact same issue about 3 weeks ago and it turned out to be related to EDD doing some kind of backend system maintenance they never announced. My payment showed "paid" in claim history but didn't appear in payment activity for almost 4 days. What's frustrating is that EDD seems to run these system updates randomly without any notice to claimants. I only found out what was happening when I finally got through to a rep who mentioned they'd been getting a lot of calls about payment display issues that week. The good news is that in every case I've heard about (including my own), the money eventually comes through - it's usually just a display/processing delay rather than an actual problem with your claim. But I totally understand the panic when you're depending on those payments and suddenly the system is acting weird with no explanation. For what it's worth, I've started checking my payment status on both the EDD website and my bank's mobile app whenever I certify, just to catch any discrepancies early. It's annoying that we have to do this, but it helps avoid the stress of wondering what's going on.

I'm going through this exact same situation right now and this thread has been a lifesaver! Been on EDD since December and this is the first time I've had a payment show "paid" in claim history but not appear in payment activity. It's day 2 for me and I was starting to panic thinking something was wrong with my claim. Reading everyone's experiences here is so reassuring - sounds like this is becoming a pretty common issue with their system lately. I'm going to try the logout/login trick and check from my desktop instead of just my phone. It's honestly ridiculous that we have to troubleshoot EDD's technical problems ourselves, but I'm grateful this community exists to share these workarounds. Will definitely update if the payment shows up or if I learn anything new from calling them. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - you probably saved me hours of stress and panic!

I'm experiencing this exact same issue right now! Certified yesterday and it shows "paid" in my claim history but absolutely nothing in payment activity. This is my first time dealing with this kind of delay since I started my claim in October - usually my payments show up in both places within hours of certifying. Reading through everyone's experiences here is incredibly helpful and reassuring. I had no idea EDD's system had so many display glitches and compatibility issues. I'm going to try the logout/login trick and check from my computer instead of just my phone app. It's frustrating that we have to become tech support for their broken system, but at least now I know this is a common issue and not something wrong with my specific claim. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and solutions - this community is honestly more reliable than EDD's own customer service! I'll update once my payment shows up properly.

I'm dealing with this EXACT same issue right now! Certified on Tuesday, claim history shows "paid" but nothing in payment activity and no money in my account yet. This is day 3 and I was starting to really worry something was wrong with my claim since I've been getting payments like clockwork since September. This thread has been such a relief to find - had no idea this was such a common problem lately! I'm going to try the logout/login trick and switch between mobile/desktop like everyone suggested. It's honestly insane that EDD's system is this glitchy and they don't warn people about it. Reading everyone's experiences here gives me hope that it's just another system delay rather than an actual issue with my claim. Will definitely try calling if nothing shows up by tomorrow, but at least now I know what questions to ask and what to look for. Thanks to everyone for sharing - this community is way more helpful than EDD's actual support!

Just wanted to jump in and say this thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm currently experiencing this exact same issue - certified Monday and it shows "paid" in claim history but nothing in payment activity yet. It's day 4 now and I was getting really anxious until I found this discussion. I tried the logout/login trick that several people mentioned and it worked! My payment is now showing as issued yesterday with an expected deposit date of tomorrow. It's amazing how such a simple fix can resolve what seemed like a major problem. What's really frustrating is that this appears to be such a widespread issue with EDD's system, yet they provide zero communication about these technical glitches. Reading through everyone's experiences here, it's clear that payment display delays are becoming increasingly common, especially over the past few months. For anyone else dealing with this - definitely try logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in from both mobile and desktop. Also check at different times of day since the system seems to update inconsistently. Don't panic if it takes a few days to show up properly - from what I'm seeing here, the money almost always comes through eventually, it's just their display system that's unreliable. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and solutions - this community is honestly more reliable than EDD's official support!
