EDD direct deposit payment delays - been 4 days and still nothing in my account

Direct deposit from EDD typically takes 1-3 business days after the payment shows as 'issued' in your UI Online account. Since today is the 3rd business day, I'd give it until tomorrow before getting too worried. A few things to check: 1) Verify the account number and routing number are correct in your UI Online profile, 2) Make sure your name on the EDD account exactly matches your bank account name, and 3) Check if your bank might be holding the deposit for verification since it's your first direct deposit from EDD. If nothing shows up by tomorrow afternoon, then you should contact EDD.

mine usuly hits my acct next day after it says paid! somethings not right if its been that long

The SAME exact thing happened to me last month!! UI Online showed 'paid' for a whole week while my bank account sat empty. I was freaking out! Turns out my bank (Wells Fargo) was holding the first EDD deposit for 'security review' or something stupid like that. They never even notified me! Have you called your bank and specifically asked if they're holding any deposits for review?

Direct deposit timing can vary based on several factors: - First-time direct deposits from EDD often take longer (3-5 business days) - Some banks hold government deposits for verification - If you certified on a weekend, add an extra day - Bank holidays can delay processing If you need to reach EDD to verify your banking information is correct, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an agent quickly. They have a service that helps you bypass the long hold times. I used them when I had a similar issue with my direct deposit not showing up, and they got me connected to EDD in about 20 minutes instead of spending days trying to get through. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km

THE EDD SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN!!!! I switched to direct deposit in January and my first payment took TWELVE DAYS to hit my account even though the website said 'paid' the whole time. No explanation, no apology, NOTHING from EDD! When I finally got through to someone they just said 'oh yeah first payments can take longer' like it's totally normal to leave people hanging without money for weeks. I hate how they treat us like we're criminals for needing unemployment!!

When I first switched to direct deposit last year, my payment took 5 business days to arrive. Every payment after that came in 1-2 days like clockwork. I think the first one always takes longer for some reason - probably some verification thing on their end. If you're worried, you could always switch back to the Money Network card. Those payments seem to post faster in my experience.

did you check your account info is right in the system? my friend put wrong routing # and money went nowhere for weeks

Quick update check - has the money arrived yet? If it's been 5 business days and you still don't see it, you should definitely contact EDD to make sure there isn't an issue on their end.
