EDD deposit delays today - anyone else waiting longer than usual?

same here!! certified Sunday night and still nothing in my account. usually hits by monday afternoon at the LATEST. EDD website says paid too but no $$. grrr

This happens sometimes. There can be delays in the transfer between EDD showing 'paid' and the actual deposit hitting your account, especially if you're using direct deposit instead of the Money Network card. If the system shows 'paid' status, you shouldn't worry too much. The money is allocated to you, but bank processing times vary. Also, if Monday was President's Day or another bank holiday, that could add an extra business day to processing time.

I had this exact problem last month where my payment showed as 'paid' but took 3 extra days to deposit. When I finally got through to an EDD rep, they explained that sometimes they do random verification holds or their payment processing system has maintenance issues that aren't announced publicly. If your UI Online account shows 'paid' and not 'pending,' your money is definitely coming - just delayed in transit.

TYPICAL EDD INCOMPETENCE!!! They expect us to certify ON TIME every two weeks but can't even process payments consistently! I'm in the same boat - certified Sunday, shows paid, NO MONEY. When I call the automated line it says payment issued but NOTHING in my account. This happened to me twice before and both times it was because of some "system upgrade" they never bothered to tell anyone about. Meanwhile we all have BILLS TO PAY!!!

My friend had this happen and found out his bank was actually holding the deposit for 24 hours for some reason. Have you checked with your bank? Sometimes they put holds on government deposits that they don't normally put on other deposits. Just a thought.

If you're worried, you should try reaching EDD directly to check if there's a system-wide delay or if it's specific to your claim. I had luck using Claimyr.com to get through to an EDD representative when I had a similar issue with delayed payment. It helped me skip the busy signals and actually talk to someone who could check my claim status. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km - definitely worth it when you're waiting on money you need for rent.

UPDATE: Just checked the EDD Twitter account and they posted about 30 minutes ago that they're experiencing a delay in payment processing due to a system maintenance issue that ran longer than expected. They say all payments should be completed within 24-48 hours. Here's the link to their official Twitter announcement: [link removed by moderator - please don't post external links]

Just checked my account and my deposit finally hit! About 36 hours after certification showed as 'paid' - much longer than normal. Check your accounts everyone!
