EDD Money Network card deposit delay - normal timeframes after certification?

Thanks! I'll keep checking the app. Do holidays affect the timing? There was a holiday yesterday.

Same! Always Monday night for me too, usually between 10-11pm. I think it depends on your last name or claim number or something.

Totally. Last month my payment was delayed by almost a week and when I finally got through to someone, they just said "it's processing" with no other info. So helpful 🙄

Yes, Money Network is different from direct deposit. Money Network is the prepaid debit card option that EDD provides if you don't select direct deposit to your personal bank account. Both payment methods typically process in similar timeframes, though some banks may have different processing times for direct deposits.

Thanks for the detailed info! UI Online does show "paid" with yesterday's date, and my card is definitely activated since I received my first payment on it. I'll give it until Thursday morning before I worry too much.

Does that service actually work? I've heard about it but wasn't sure if it's worth it. The EDD phone system is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

It worked for me when I was desperate after trying for days on my own. The rep was able to tell me exactly why my payment was delayed and fixed it while I was on the call. Definitely better than burning through my phone battery hitting redial all day.

That's really reassuring to hear! I'll check again when I wake up tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

You're right - certification timing can affect payment speed. Sunday certifications typically process faster than mid-week ones. The EDD system runs certain batch processes on specific days, so certifying early in the window (Sunday-Monday) often results in faster payment processing.

Great news! Yes, holidays can sometimes add an extra day to processing times. Glad it worked out before your car payment was due. For future reference, this timing (48 hours) is pretty standard, so you can plan accordingly for your next certification period.

Good to hear! I still think EDD should be more transparent about these delays instead of making us guess and stress about it!

So glad it worked out for you! I'm new here and going through my first certification period right now. This whole thread has been super helpful to understand the timing. It's crazy how stressful it can be waiting for money you're counting on, especially when the EDD website is so vague about timeframes. Thanks for updating us with the good news!

@Andre Laurent Welcome to the community! Yeah, this thread really shows how much uncertainty there is around EDD payment timing. I m'glad I found this place too - it s'so much better getting real experiences from actual people than trying to decode the vague info on the official EDD site. The folks here have been really helpful with practical advice. Hope your first certification goes smoothly!

@Andre Laurent I m'pretty new here too! Just went through my second certification and was panicking when the money didn t'show up right away. This community has been a lifesaver - everyone s'so willing to share their experiences and help each other out. The EDD system is confusing enough without having to figure it out alone. Definitely stick around, there s'tons of good info here!

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor I totally agree - this community is amazing! I just joined recently after struggling to find clear info about EDD processes elsewhere. It s such'a relief to connect with people who actually understand what we re going'through. The official EDD resources are so unhelpful, but here you get real experiences and practical advice. Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge - it makes such a difference when you re stressed'about payments and deadlines!

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor @Chloe Harris Welcome to all the newcomers! It s great to'see this community growing with people who actually help each other out. I ve been dealing'with EDD for about 6 months now and this place has been invaluable for getting real answers instead of the generic processing time varies "responses you get" everywhere else. The collective knowledge here has saved me so much stress and confusion. Hope you all have smooth sailing with your claims going forward!

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor @Chloe Harris @Alice Coleman Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! This is exactly what I was hoping to find - real people with actual experience navigating this confusing system. I ve been reading through'old posts here and learning so much more than I ever got from the official EDD site. It s reassuring to know'there s a supportive community'here when dealing with all the uncertainty and stress that comes with unemployment claims. Looking forward to contributing once I have more experience to share!

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor @Chloe Harris @Alice Coleman @Elijah Jackson I m also pretty new to'this community and going through my first few weeks of EDD! This whole conversation has been so helpful - I was getting really anxious about my own certification timing after reading horror stories online, but seeing everyone s actual experiences here gives'me a much better sense of what to expect. It s amazing how much more'useful real community knowledge is compared to the official EDD info. Thanks to everyone who takes time to share their experiences and help newcomers like us!

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor @Chloe Harris @Alice Coleman @Elijah Jackson @Yara Sayegh Hey everyone! I just joined this community after stumbling across this thread while frantically googling EDD payment delays sound familiar? 😅 . I m (in my first)month of'unemployment and just certified for the second time yesterday. Reading through all your experiences has been SO much more helpful than anything I ve found on the official EDD'site or other forums. It s such a relief to find'people who actually understand the stress of waiting for payments when you have bills due! Thanks for creating such a welcoming and informative space - I m already feeling less anxious about'the whole process knowing there are real people here who can share actual timelines and experiences.

@Andre Laurent @Keisha Taylor @Chloe Harris @Alice Coleman @Elijah Jackson @Yara Sayegh @Ravi Malhotra Welcome everyone! I m also relatively new here and just'wanted to echo what others have said - this community has been a game changer for navigating EDD. I was so lost when I first started my claim, but the real-world experiences shared here have helped me understand the actual timeline patterns and what s normal vs. what needs follow-up. It's incredible how much clearer everything becomes'when you have people sharing their genuine experiences rather than trying to decode the vague official guidance. Looking forward to learning from all of you and hopefully being able to help others once I have more experience under my belt!
