EDD appeal approved - how long until I actually see my payment?

congrats on winning yr appeal! edd is super slow with updating after appeals. i waited like 3 wks for mine to hit my acct after my telephone hearing. just keep checking ur ui online every day, it'll switch from disqualified to paid with no warning

The timing varies quite a bit after appeal approvals. Here's what typically happens: 1. The judge's decision gets sent to EDD (1-3 business days) 2. EDD processes the decision and updates their system (3-10 business days) 3. Your account status changes from disqualified to paid 4. Payment processes within 24-48 hours after status change So realistically, you're looking at anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks. I'd suggest calling EDD to make sure they've received and are processing the judge's decision - sometimes they need a nudge to speed things along, especially if you explain your rent situation.

I spent TWO MONTHS trying to reach EDD after winning my appeal!!! They had "received" the judge's decision but kept telling me it was "in process" every time I managed to get through. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with an actual tier 2 specialist who processed my payment on the spot. The video demo shows exactly how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Seriously worth it to avoid the constant busy signals and disconnects. The specialist told me appeal decisions can get stuck in their system without manual intervention.

my frend won her apeeal in january and got paid in 4 days but she had a diffrent issue (quit vs fired) not false statment so maybe thats faster? false statement takes longer cuz they have to remove the fraud flag on your acount probably

I WON MY APPEAL 6 WEEKS AGO AND STILL NOTHING!!!! EDD IS COMPLETELY BROKEN!!! They lost my paperwork TWICE and now claim they have no record of the judge's decision even though I HAVE THE LETTER RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME with the case number and everything. Every rep tells me something different - one says it's in process, another says they have no record, a third says I need to call some special department that's NEVER AVAILABLE. This system is DESIGNED to make people give up!!!!!

Just sharing my experience - after my appeal was approved (for a different issue though, not false statement), I checked my UI Online account obsessively. On day 8, it suddenly switched from disqualified to paid! Money was on my card the next day. No warning, no email, nothing - it just changed. So definitely keep checking your account daily.

My cousin works for EDD (not sharing which office lol) and she says appeals are taking 10-14 business days to process right now because they're short-staffed. But she says if you haven't seen any change after 2 weeks, something is definitely wrong and you should call.

Congratulations on winning your appeal! Here's exactly what should happen: 1. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) submits their decision to EDD (typically 1-2 business days after your hearing) 2. EDD's Appeals Division processes the decision (5-10 business days) 3. For false statement disqualifications specifically, the Compliance Division must review and remove penalty flags (3-5 additional days) 4. Once processed, all weeks switch from "disqualified" to "paid" status 5. Payment processing begins automatically (24-48 hours) 6. Funds appear on your Money Network card or direct deposit (1-2 business days) Total time: typically 10-21 days from decision date. If it's been more than 3 weeks, I recommend contacting your local assembly member's office for assistance. They have direct lines to EDD specialists who can resolve these issues quickly.

anyone saying 2 weeks is being OPTIMISTIC!!! My friend and I both won appeals for the EXACT SAME ISSUE and she got paid in 9 days while I'm still waiting after 5 WEEKS!!! It's completely RANDOM depending on which EDD employee gets your file and how backed up they are!!! The ONLY thing that works is calling over and over until you get someone who actually CARES enough to help!!!

I'm going through something similar right now! Won my appeal for false statement disqualification about 2 weeks ago and still waiting. Called EDD yesterday and they said the appeals decision is "in their system" but needs to go through the fraud review department to remove the penalty before payment can process. The rep estimated another 5-7 business days but honestly who knows with EDD's timelines. Really hoping it doesn't drag on like some of the horror stories here. Will keep you posted on how long mine takes - fingers crossed we both get paid soon!

I'm in almost the exact same boat! Won my false statement appeal 10 days ago and my UI Online still shows everything as disqualified. Called EDD twice this week - first rep said "it's processing" and second one said they couldn't see any appeal decision in the system at all (even though I have the judge's letter right here). It's so frustrating getting different answers every time. Based on what everyone's saying here, sounds like I need to be patient for at least another week before really panicking. @Miguel Hernández - have you tried calling the Appeals Division directly at that number Klaus mentioned? Might be worth a shot since regular customer service seems pretty clueless about appeal processing.

Just went through this exact situation last month! Won my false statement appeal and it took exactly 12 business days for the payment to show up. Here's what I learned from calling EDD multiple times: The "false statement" flag creates extra steps because it's considered a fraud penalty, so it has to go through their Compliance/Fraud Review unit after the Appeals Division processes it. Regular customer service reps can't see this process, which is why you get conflicting info when you call the main number. My UI Online account looked exactly like yours - everything still showed "disqualified" right up until the day it suddenly switched to "paid." No gradual changes or warnings, it just flipped overnight around day 11. One thing that helped me was keeping a log of when I received the judge's decision letter vs when EDD actually received it (they're different dates). The processing timeline starts from when EDD gets it, not when you do. Hang in there - 9 weeks fighting the appeal was the hard part, this waiting is just EDD being their usual slow selves!

I'm in a similar situation - won my false statement appeal 2 weeks ago and still waiting! Your post gives me hope that it's actually moving through the system even though my UI Online looks exactly the same. One thing I learned from calling is that you can also check if your claim has been flagged for "manual review" by asking the rep to look at your claim notes - apparently this is common with false statement reversals because they need a supervisor to manually remove the fraud indicators. The rep told me to expect 2-3 weeks total processing time specifically for false statement appeals because of this extra step. It's frustrating but sounds like you're right on track based on everyone's experiences here!

I went through this exact situation about 6 months ago! Won my false statement appeal and it took 16 business days total for the money to hit my account. The key thing I learned is that false statement cases have to go through an additional "penalty removal" process that regular appeals don't need. Here's what actually happens behind the scenes: After the Appeals Division enters the judge's decision, your case gets transferred to the Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) unit who has to manually review and remove all the fraud flags on your account. This can take 7-10 business days by itself because it requires supervisor approval at multiple levels. My advice: Don't panic until you hit the 3-week mark. The system won't show any progress until the very end when everything suddenly flips from disqualified to paid overnight. Also, try calling right at 8:01 AM - I had better luck getting through to someone who could actually see my case status during the early morning hours. You've already done the hardest part winning the appeal - this is just EDD's bureaucratic machinery slowly grinding along. Hang in there!

I just went through this exact same process! Won my false statement appeal about a month ago and it took 14 business days for everything to process. What really helped me was understanding that false statement reversals go through a completely different workflow than regular appeals - they have to remove fraud flags, penalty indicators, and get multiple supervisor approvals before any payments can be released. The most frustrating part is that your UI Online account won't show ANY progress during this time - it'll look exactly the same (all disqualified) right up until the moment it suddenly flips to paid. I checked mine obsessively every day and it was always the same until day 13 when everything magically changed overnight. My recommendation: give it the full 3 weeks before you start escalating to assembly members or anything drastic. The 9-week fight for the appeal was the real battle - this is just EDD's slow bureaucratic process doing its thing. Keep checking your account daily but try not to stress if nothing changes for another week or two. You WILL get paid, it's just a matter of when their system finally processes everything!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Won my false statement appeal 8 days ago and my UI Online still shows everything as disqualified. Reading through all these responses is both reassuring and nerve-wracking - sounds like anywhere from 10-21 business days is normal for false statement reversals because of the extra fraud flag removal process. What's really helpful is learning that the UI Online account won't show any gradual progress - it just stays "disqualified" until everything suddenly flips to "paid" overnight once all the backend processing is complete. I was starting to worry something was wrong since there's been zero change, but now I understand that's totally normal. Planning to try calling the Appeals Division directly at (800) 300-5616 (press 1, then 6) to see if they can at least confirm they received the judge's decision and it's in their processing queue. Thanks everyone for sharing your timelines - it really helps to know what to expect during this waiting period!

I'm in the EXACT same situation right now! Won my false statement appeal 6 days ago and my UI Online account looks identical to yours - everything still showing "disqualified" with no pending payments. After reading all these responses, I'm feeling a lot more informed about what to expect. It sounds like false statement reversals are basically a completely different beast compared to regular appeals because of all the fraud flag removal and supervisor approvals required. The timeline everyone's sharing (10-21 business days) is actually pretty consistent, and knowing that the UI Online account won't show ANY progress until it suddenly flips overnight is weirdly comforting. I was starting to panic thinking something was stuck, but now I understand this radio silence is totally normal during the BAM unit processing phase. I'm planning to try that Appeals Division direct line ((800) 300-5616, press 1 then 6) tomorrow morning just to confirm they received the judge's decision and it's in their queue. Hang in there Miguel - sounds like we're both in the normal waiting period and should see movement in the next week or two!
