EDD payment delay due to holiday - when will funds actually arrive?

Holidays always delay EDD payments by at least one business day. Since today (Monday) is President's Day, your payment will most likely post to your Money Network card tomorrow (Tuesday). The claim history showing 'paid' means EDD has processed it on their end, but the banking system is what's closed for the holiday. You definitely don't need to call about this - it's a standard delay that happens with every bank holiday.

same happened to me for new years. dont worry itll show up

This happens EVERY SINGLE HOLIDAY and EDD never bothers to put a notice on their website explaining the delay!!! It's ridiculous how they leave people hanging especially when we're all living paycheck to paycheck. I've been on UI for 5 months and every holiday is the same story - complete radio silence from EDD while thousands of people panic about their money. The system is designed to be confusing on purpose!!!!

Here's what happens with payments and holidays: 1. If your certification is processed and shows 'paid' in UI Online, the payment has been authorized by EDD 2. Bank transfers don't process on federal holidays (like today) 3. Payments will resume processing tomorrow morning 4. Money Network usually receives the deposit by midday Tuesday 5. You should see funds available by Tuesday afternoon/evening If you don't see the payment by Wednesday afternoon, then you might want to contact EDD. But this is completely normal for holiday weeks.

wait i'm confused are we talking about the certification or the actual payment? because i certified yesterday and it still says pending not paid... is that because of the holiday too or is that a different issue?

If you need to get through to EDD, good luck with just calling the regular number! I spent TWO WEEKS trying to get through about my payment delay. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through to a rep in about 20 minutes. They have a system that navigates the phone tree and waits on hold for you, then calls when an agent is ready. Saved me so much stress! They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km But for your situation, I agree with everyone else - just wait until tomorrow for the holiday delay to clear up. No need to call unless it doesn't show up by Wednesday.

my payment from last month was late too and I freaked out but it came the next day just like everyones saying

did it show up today?? mines still not here im getting nervous

For future reference, most banks and payment systems (including Money Network) follow the Federal Reserve holiday schedule. So any federal holiday will delay electronic transfers by at least one business day. I keep a calendar of federal holidays just so I know when to expect delays with my UI payments. It's saved me a lot of stress over the past year! The key thing to remember is that if your UI Online shows "paid" then EDD has done their part - it's just the banking system that's closed.

I've been on unemployment for about 8 months now and holidays used to stress me out so much until I learned the pattern. What everyone's saying is absolutely correct - if your UI Online shows "paid" then you're good to go, it's just the banking delay. I've noticed that Money Network usually processes the deposits in batches, so some people get theirs earlier in the day and others later. Don't panic if yours comes a few hours after others report getting theirs. The longest I've ever had to wait for a holiday delay was until Wednesday evening, but that was during a week with multiple holidays. One business day delay is the norm for single holidays like President's Day.

Just want to add my experience for anyone else who might be dealing with this in the future - I've been on UI for about 6 months and every single federal holiday has caused exactly a one business day delay when my status shows "paid". The key thing I learned is to not even bother checking your Money Network card on the actual holiday because the banking systems are completely offline. I usually just mark my calendar for the next business day and check then. It's also worth noting that if you have direct deposit to a regular bank account instead of the Money Network card, the timing is usually very similar - still delayed by federal holidays but typically processes the next business day. The stress definitely gets easier once you know the pattern!
