How long does EDD take to deposit after switching to direct deposit?

mine took like 3 business days to switch over when i did it last month. the website said it could take up to 3-5 days for the change to fully process. u might get ur monday payment on the card still if u just did the switch yesterday

When you switch your payment method, EDD requires about 3-5 business days to process the change. Since you just made the change yesterday and your payment is due Monday, there's a high probability your funds will be deposited to your Money Network card one last time. Future payments after that should go to your direct deposit account. Make sure all your banking information was entered correctly - even one wrong digit can cause significant delays. Also, double-check your account status in UI Online to ensure the change is processing.

ANYTHING is better than that stupid Money Network card!! Mine got lost in the mail TWICE and then when I finally got it, the ATM ate it when I tried to withdraw my funds. EDD's whole payment system is designed to make us suffer I swear!!

I switched to direct deposit back in February, and it took exactly 3 business days for the system to update. Your Monday payment will likely go to the card since the processing time won't be complete yet. One thing to note - when payments go to direct deposit, they typically arrive 1-2 days faster than the card method once the system is set up. I'd recommend keeping both payment methods accessible until you confirm the switch is complete. If you're concerned about timing for your rent, I suggest calling EDD directly to confirm your payment method status. I used Claimyr.com to get through to an EDD representative when I had a similar concern. Their service connects you with an EDD agent much faster than calling directly. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km that shows how it works. Helped me avoid a lot of frustration with the endless busy signals.

wait can someone explain the difference between direct deposit and the card thing? i just filed my first claim last week and didnt know there were options

When I switched to direct deposit last year, my payment scheduled for that week went to my card, but all subsequent payments went to my bank account without any issues. If you just switched yesterday, I'd plan on your Monday payment going to the Money Network card, with all future ones going to your bank. Make sure you don't close your Money Network account immediately if you still have that one pending payment. Also, once your direct deposit is active, payments usually hit your account 1-2 days after certification if you certify on Sunday. It's much more reliable than the card system.

I went through this EXACT same issue back in January. My payment did go to my card one last time when I switched, but after that the direct deposit worked perfectly! One thing nobody mentioned - make sure your bank doesn't have any holds on EDD deposits. My credit union put a 2-day hold on my first direct deposit which was super annoying since I was counting on that money right away. Might want to check with your bank about their policy on government deposits?

btw if ur worried about ur rent being late cuz of this edd stuff just show ur landlord proof of ur claim. most of them r understanding these days with all the edd problems

Just wanted to follow up on this thread - has your payment method switch been completed yet? Did Monday's payment end up going to your card or your bank account? Curious to hear how it worked out since I'll be helping my brother set up direct deposit next week.
