How long after winning EDD appeal until benefits actually start paying?

congrats on winning! mine took 17 days after the appeal decision letter, and I got all the backpay at once. but my friend had to wait over a month so i think it varies a lot. your account will probably still show disqualified for a while, the system is slow to update

The timeframe varies but typically it takes 10-14 business days for EDD to process your appeal victory and release payments. EDD has to manually review your case, remove the disqualification flag, recalculate your eligible weeks, and then authorize payment. A few factors that can affect timing: 1. How backlogged their appeals department currently is 2. Whether there are any other issues on your claim besides the appealed issue 3. If your address or payment method has changed recently Your UI Online will continue showing disqualification until they complete the review. Once processed, you'll usually receive all backpay in a single payment, but very large amounts are sometimes split up for security reasons.

I went through this in February and it was MADDENING. Won my appeal but then nothing happened for 3 weeks. Finally called EDD and found out they needed to manually remove a flag from my account. The moment they did that, payment processed within 48 hours. Don't just wait - keep checking your account daily and if nothing changes after 7-10 days, you need to call them. I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual EDD rep after wasting days getting busy signals. They got me connected to a rep in under 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. You can see how it works in their video demo: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. Totally worth it because the rep was able to fix whatever was holding up my payment right away.

mine took 32 days after winning appeal and i had to call them like 10 times!!! the edd is a DISASTER and they dont care that people have bills. my landlord almost evicted me while waiting. system is broken!!!!!

One thing I learned after my appeal is that sometimes your weekly certifications might be missing for the periods you were disqualified. Check if you need to retroactively certify for any weeks! This delayed me getting paid because I didn't realize I still needed to go back and certify for those weeks even after winning my appeal. The EDD system doesn't make this clear AT ALL.

my cousins friend said if u call the 833 number instead of the 800 number sometimes u get thru faster and they can help u better

did anybody else have to deal with penalty weeks after winning appeal? i won but then found out i had 5 penalty weeks where i dont get paid even tho i qualified... such bs

after you won did they make you do another phone interview? my friend had to do ANOTHER eligibility interview even after she won her appeal which delayed everything another 2 weeks

Just checking back - has your payment status changed yet? Curious because I'm about to have my own appeal hearing next week and trying to plan for how long the whole process might take.
