How long after EDD certification until payment hits Money Network card?

In my experience, it usually takes about 48 hours for funds to show up on your Money Network card if your certification goes through without any issues. First payments sometimes take a bit longer though - mine took 3 days the first time. If your certification status says 'paid' in your UI Online account, you can expect the money soon. Have you checked if your certification status shows 'paid' or 'pending'? That's key.

it depends some ppl get paid same day some take a few days i got mine next day at like 10pm but my friend waited 5 days cos they had to review something just check ur ui online account for status updates

The standard timeline for EDD payments after certification is: 1. Certification gets processed (usually same day) 2. Status changes from "pending" to "paid" (24-48 hours typically) 3. Transfer to Money Network card (0-24 hours after status changes to paid) So in total, you're looking at 1-3 days for most people IF there are no issues with your claim. First payments can sometimes take longer because they go through additional verification. If your claim has any eligibility questions or your identity verification isn't fully processed, it could potentially delay things further. I'd recommend checking your UI Online dashboard 2-3 times a day. Once you see the status change to "paid," you'll typically have the money within 24 hours.

Congrats on getting your claim approved! The waiting game is the worst part. For me it was always super reliable - certified Sunday morning, showed paid Sunday night, money on card Monday by noon. But that was after the first payment went through.

The EDD payment system is BROKEN!! I certified 3 weeks ago and still nothing! Called 57 times yesterday and couldn't get through - kept getting the "we're experiencing high call volume" message. When I finally got through today, they said I need an eligibility interview due to my job separation but couldn't tell me when it would be scheduled!!! The whole system is designed to make people give up. Meanwhile they expect us to pay rent and buy food with WHAT EXACTLY???

I had the same question when I first started my claim in January. For regular certifications WITH NO ISSUES, here's what happens: - If you certify on Sunday morning, it usually switches to "paid" status by Monday morning - The funds are typically on your Money Network card by Tuesday morning For your first payment ever, add about 1 extra day to that timeline. HOWEVER, if your certification stays "pending" for more than 48 hours, something might need review. That's when you should call EDD to find out what's happening. Getting through to them is nearly impossible with regular calling though. I highly recommend using Claimyr.com to get through to an EDD agent quickly. It saved me so much frustration when I had a pending payment issue.

anyone know what happens if you certify late? i forgot to do mine sunday and just did it today (wednesday). will that delay payment even more?

UPDATE: My status just changed to PAID! That was about 36 hours after I certified. Does anyone know how long until it actually hits my Money Network card now?

Don't forget you can set up alerts on your Money Network account to get a text when deposits hit! Saved me so much anxiety from constantly checking.

FINAL UPDATE: Money was on my card this morning! So total timeline: certified Sunday morning → status changed to paid Monday evening → money on card Wednesday morning. About 2.5 days total. Thanks everyone for your help! I was so worried I'd miss rent.
