EDD payment delay today - anyone else still waiting?
I certify every 2 weeks like clockwork & my payment usually hits my Money Network card by 11pm Sunday or early Monday morning. Its now Tuesday afternoon & still nothing showing in my account! Status on UI Online still says 'paid' but no money deposited yet. Anybody else experiencing delayed payments this week or is it just me? Getting worried cuz rent due in 3 days & landlord dont care about EDD delays!!!

This happens sometimes with the Money Network card deposits. There's often a 24-48 hour delay between when EDD shows 'paid' status and when the funds actually appear on your card. If your UI Online account shows the payment as 'paid,' you should see the deposit by tomorrow. The system might be experiencing higher volume this week due to the recent quarter change.

•not always true. last month EDD said my payment was 'paid' but it never showed up for 9 days!! had to call 57 times before i got through to a rep who fixed it. turns out there was a 'transaction verification hold' that nobody told me about.

This happens at the beginning of each quarter sometimes. There's likely a processing delay at either EDD or Money Network. If your UI Online shows 'paid' status, this is generally a good sign - the money has been authorized but not deposited yet. I recommend checking these things: 1. Verify your Money Network card is still active 2. Double-check that your certification didn't raise any flags (part-time work reported, etc.) 3. Look at your UI Online payment history to confirm the payment status and amount If it doesn't arrive by tomorrow, definitely contact EDD directly.

•Nope, no income to report. Just a straight certification with no issues. Called the payment status line again and it still says no pending deposits!

I had the same issue yesterday, but my payment just hit my account about an hour ago. Sometimes these delays happen with the Money Network card. I've found that if UI Online shows 'paid,' the money usually shows up within 48-72 hours. If you need to contact EDD directly to check on your payment status, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was getting that 'maximum callers' message for days until I used their service last month when my benefits were delayed. They got me through to a rep in about 20 minutes who fixed my issue right away. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km

Just a quick update - I checked with a couple other claimants I know, and they're also experiencing a 1-2 day delay this week. Seems like there might be a system-wide processing slowdown. As long as your UI Online shows 'paid,' I wouldn't worry too much yet.
