Payment says PAID but money not showing on EDD Money Network card - how long to transfer?
Finally got my certification processed after being stuck pending for weeks. I have already received my first EDD payment on my Money Network card successfully, but now I'm confused about the timeline for new payments. I just certified for the last two weeks (one week with excessive earnings and one week with no work), and it switched to PAID status today for $239. But the money hasn't appeared on my card yet. Since the payment status literally just changed to PAID today, how long should I expect to wait for the funds to show up on my Money Network card? Is there usually a delay between when EDD says 'paid' and when funds are actually available on the card?

Generally, it takes 24-48 hours for the money to appear on your card after the status changes to PAID. Sometimes it can be as quick as same-day if it was processed early in the morning, but don't panic if it takes a full business day or two. Since your payment just posted as paid today, I'd give it until tomorrow afternoon before worrying. Also keep in mind that holidays and weekends can delay the transfer slightly.

You should be getting the money TONITE!!! The EDD system runs a batch process at like 9:30pm and thats when all the payments get pushed to the cards. I've been claiming for months and it's ALWAYS available by midnight of the day it says PAID. Anyone telling you 48 hours is WRONG. Check your card at midnight!!!

•That's not entirely accurate. While some people do get their payments on the same day, the official EDD guidance says to allow up to 48 hours. Payment processing times can vary based on when the payment was authorized and banking cycles. Not everyone's payment hits at midnight.

I've used Claimyr when I had a similar issue where my payment showed paid but never appeared on my card for over 3 days. Got connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes who found my payment was flagged for review. They fixed it right away and my funds appeared the next morning. Definitely worth checking out their video demo at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km if you're still having issues after 48 hours. Their website is claimyr.com and they can get you through to EDD when the regular phone lines are jammed.

•Thanks for the tip! I'll give it the 48 hours first like others suggested, but good to know there's an option if I need to actually talk to someone at EDD.

Is this your first time certifying since getting your card? I remember being confused about this too. The first payment went on my card immediately because they had to issue the card, but all subsequent payments took longer. Also make sure your checking the right balance - the card has both 'available' and 'pending' sections in the app and sometimes it shows in pending first.

•No, I already got my first payment successfully. This is my second certification period. I didn't realize there was a pending section in the app - I'll look for that too!

My money always shows up overnight when it goes to paid status. Like I'll check before bed nothing there but when I wake up its there. But sometimes there's glitches with the Money Network card system and u gotta call them direct. One time my payment was stuck for a week cuz they had a "system flag" whatever that means

•I certified for two weeks but only got paid for one week because I had excessive earnings for the other week. My weekly benefit amount is $239 so that's correct.

•Just checked - nothing yet! Guess I'll be waiting the full 48 hours after all. Will update when it arrives.

UPDATE: Since it's been over 24 hours, I would suggest checking these things: 1) Log into BofA/Money Network and check your recent transaction history, not just the balance 2) Make sure you don't have any account holds 3) Check that your card is still active and hasn't expired. If you still don't see it by tomorrow, definitely call the card provider first, and if they don't see a pending deposit, then you'll need to contact EDD directly.

•Thank you for the follow-up! Just checked and the payment finally appeared on my card about an hour ago. Took about 30 hours total from when it changed to PAID status. Relief!
