EDD certification one day late - will my payment be delayed?
So I messed up a bit and certified for benefits this morning (Monday) instead of yesterday like I normally do. Sunday just completely slipped my mind with all the family stuff going on. I'm kinda worried this might delay when I get my payment on my Money Network card. Has anyone certified late before? Will my payment still process on the usual timeline or am I looking at some kind of delay now? Really need this payment to hit my account on time for rent.

You're totally fine! Certifying one day late won't affect your payment timeline significantly. EDD processes certifications in batches throughout the week. You might see a slight delay (possibly 24 hours), but since you certified first thing Monday morning, your payment should still process this week. I've certified on Mondays several times and my Money Network card usually gets funded within the normal timeframe or just a day later at most.

•Phew, that's a relief! Thanks for the quick response. Rent is due on Friday so I was starting to stress out about it.

certifying late isnt a big deal, i did it 3 days late once and still got paid. just dont miss the deadline completely or youll have to call edd and its a nightmare getting through

•I agree that missing the certification window completely is a real problem! But to clarify, the actual deadline for biweekly certification is 14 days from when your certification week opens, not just Sunday. Though certifying early in your window is always best practice for faster payment.

This happened to me once and my payment was delayed by like 3 days and I freaked out because I thought something was wrong with my claim but then it just showed up randomly later in the week

•Ugh, 3 days would definitely make me nervous too. Hoping mine comes through quicker than that!

The certification window is actually open for two weeks, so you're well within the allowed timeframe. However, it's true that certifying later than your regular pattern can sometimes trigger a slight delay in processing. The EDD system flags changes in certification patterns as potential issues that occasionally require manual review. Based on current processing times, here's what to expect: - If your certification status shows "paid" by end of day Monday, your Money Network deposit should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday - If it shows "pending" beyond Monday, there might be a 24-48 hour delay You can always check your certification status in UI Online under "Payment Activity" to see if it's moved to "paid" status.

•Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I just checked my UI Online portal and it's actually showing "paid" already, which is a huge relief. Hoping that means the deposit hits tomorrow as usual.

Sometimes when you certify late they put your claim under "review" which can take FOREVER!!! I certified a day late once and ended up with a 3 WEEK delay because they decided to randomly audit my work search activities. EDD is so unpredictable!!

•That's really unusual and definitely not the norm for a one-day late certification. Sounds like there might have been other factors with your claim that triggered that review. Most people who certify a day late don't experience any significant delays.

If you're having trouble reaching EDD to check on your payment status, I'd recommend trying Claimyr. They helped me get through to a live EDD rep after weeks of trying on my own. Their service connects you to EDD's phone lines and holds your place in line. I was skeptical at first but their video demo convinced me: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. Their website (claimyr.com) was easy to use and I finally got answers about my delayed payment.

•Thanks for the tip! My payment status actually just updated to 'paid' in the system, but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I run into issues in the future. Calling EDD directly has been impossible.

To summarize for anyone else reading this thread: 1. Certifying one day late is within the normal certification window 2. Payment processing may be delayed by 0-48 hours compared to your usual timeline 3. Check your UI Online portal to see when status changes from "pending" to "paid" 4. Money Network card deposits typically occur 0-24 hours after the payment shows as "paid" 5. The full certification window is 14 days, but certifying early in your window is recommended The key is monitoring your UI Online account for status changes rather than just watching your Money Network card balance.

•Great summary! My payment just hit my Money Network card this morning, so it was only about 12 hours later than usual. Definitely a relief!
