EDD direct deposit timeline - how long after payment shows 'paid' to hit bank account?

Generally, it takes 24-48 hours after EDD shows "paid" status for the direct deposit to reach your bank account. This depends on your bank's processing time. Some banks make funds available immediately, while others might hold it for a day or two. If you set up direct deposit recently, the first payment might take slightly longer as the system verifies your banking information. If you don't see it by the third business day, you should contact EDD to make sure there wasn't an issue with your banking details.

mine always comes the next day after it says paid!! never had a problem with direct deposit

My experience has been TERRIBLE with EDD direct deposit! They claimed my payment was issued but it took 6 DAYS to hit my account!!! And when I called they just told me to "wait" and wouldn't give me any real answers. My friend got her money in 24 hours with the same bank so something is definitely wrong with their system. MAKE SURE you triple check your account numbers when you enter them because one wrong digit and your money disappears into the void!!!

congrats on getting approved! waiting is the worst part lol

For direct deposit, my experience has been consistent: if EDD shows payment as "paid" on Monday-Thursday, funds appear in my bank account the next business day. If it shows "paid" on Friday, the money typically posts to my account on Monday (unless there's a holiday). One thing to note - make sure that your direct deposit information is entered correctly. I've seen cases where people transposed digits in their account numbers, and this caused significant delays. You can verify your account info under the "Profile" section of UI Online. Also, if you're switching from the Money Network card to direct deposit, sometimes there's a transition period where one last payment might go to the card before all future payments go to your bank account.

banks all different. mine takes 3 days every time. brother gets his in 1 day. same edd but different banks lol. which bank u have?

If you're really worried about timing for your rent, you might want to try using Claimyr to reach an EDD rep directly. I couldn't get through to EDD for days using the regular number - always got the "too many callers" message. Claimyr got me connected to a live agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. The agent was able to tell me exactly when my deposit would hit and explained why there was a delay with my first payment. Saved me a ton of stress since I also had rent coming due.

Wait I just had a thought... are u using the same bank account that u have registered with the franchise tax board? My cousin said his got delayed because EDD cross-checked with FTB and the accounts didn't match and they had to verify his identity AGAIN even though he already did the whole ID.me thing!!

my payment hit literally while i was sleeping lol checked at midnight nothing there woke up at 7am and boom money in account like magic

Just to follow up on this thread: if your direct deposit doesn't arrive within 3 business days after showing "paid" in UI Online, you should take these steps: 1. Verify your account information is correct in UI Online 2. Contact your bank to see if they're holding the deposit 3. Call EDD to confirm the payment was properly processed to your account In most cases, it's just a timing issue, but occasionally there can be a technical problem that needs addressing. It's better to be proactive rather than waiting too long and missing your rent deadline.
