EDD direct deposit payment approved by phone today - will it arrive Saturday?

bank deposits usuly dont processs on weekends so prolly monday. My last payment was issued on a thursday and i got it friday morning with BofA

Ugh that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have to figure something out for the weekend.

Unfortunately, the EDD payment system follows standard ACH transfer rules, which means payments don't process on weekends. Even though they approved it today, the banking system won't actually process it until the next business day (Monday). In rare cases, some banks might show pending deposits over the weekend, but it won't be available until Monday at the earliest. \n\nThe standard timeline for EDD direct deposits is 24-48 business hours after the payment is issued. So if they truly processed it today, Monday morning is the most likely time you'll see it in your account, possibly Tuesday if there are any processing delays.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I was hoping there might be some chance of getting it sooner since the rep made it sound like it would be quick. I'll plan on Monday and be pleasantly surprised if it's any sooner.

In my experience, if EDD officially marked it as

I'm with Wells Fargo. They're usually pretty slow with making funds available from what I've seen in the past. But I appreciate the insight!

Ah, Wells Fargo tends to be strict about not releasing funds until they fully clear. You're probably looking at Monday morning, unfortunately. If you're in a real bind for the weekend, maybe look into Earnin or Dave apps for a small advance.

Wells Fargo is THE WORST with EDD payments! They held mine for 2 full days after other people with different banks got theirs. Never again!!

I had to call edd like 58 times before I got through last month, the wait is horrible but then wen I finally talked to them they fixed my pending payments in like 5 minutes!!! Then I got paid THE NEXT DAY it was crazy fast once they actually approved it.

How did you even get through?? I've been calling for TWO WEEKS and can't get past the \

I was in the same situation last month - couldn't get through for days. I ended up using Claimyr to connect with an EDD rep right away. It's a service that calls EDD for you and connects you when they get through. Saved me hours of frustration. Their video demo shows how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km and their website is claimyr.com. Honestly worth it when you're desperate to talk to someone about your claim.

DIRECT DEPOIST ISNT INSTANT!!!!!!! EDD LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!! I had a payment \

While there can definitely be delays, most direct deposit issues are actually due to the ACH banking system, not necessarily EDD. The federal banking system has specific processing windows, and if an EDD payment misses that window (which can happen with late-day processing), it rolls to the next business day. I'd recommend everyone set up account alerts with their bank so you know exactly when deposits hit.

OK FINE but why does every other direct deposit I get come through instantly but EDD always takes 2-3 days?? My paycheck from work hits my account immediately. Just saying the system is broken!

This reminds me of when I was waiting for my payment last year... I was down to my last $15 and my car payment was due. Called EDD on Thursday, they released payment Friday, and I kept checking my account all weekend like a crazy person lol. Finally showed up Monday morning. The stress was unreal!

That's exactly what I'm doing now - checking my account every hour hoping for a miracle! The stress is definitely real. Glad to hear yours came through eventually.

This is super helpful, thank you! The rep definitely made it sound much quicker than this. I appreciate the detailed breakdown of how it actually works. Will definitely plan for Tuesday just to be safe.
