Anyone else STILL waiting for DEO direct deposits from last week?

This happened to me last month. The system showed 'processed' for almost a week before the money actually hit my account. DEO seems to be having some payment processing delays lately. If your CONNECT account shows processed, it's probably just stuck in their system backlog. I'd give it another day or two before panicking.

yeah mine was late 2 my deposit usually comes tues but just showed up this morning. i think they got backed up or something

There was a notice posted on the CONNECT homepage last week about a system maintenance that could cause payment delays of 3-5 business days. They're upgrading something in their payment processing system. I took a screenshot but can't figure out how to post it here. Check the announcements section when you log in - it should still be there.

My sister went through this exact same thing!!!!! She waited 9 DAYS for her deposit after it said processed!!!!! DEO is USELESS and they don't care if we can't pay our bills!!!! The whole system is designed to FRUSTRATE people so they give up!!!

Just to be safe, I'd recommend making sure your banking information is correct in your CONNECT profile. Sometimes people forget they updated their bank account info or don't realize there was an error. Also, check that your Way2Go card isn't activated if you opted for direct deposit - the system sometimes defaults back to the card if there are any banking verification issues. If the payment doesn't arrive by tomorrow, I'd try calling DEO directly to check on the status. Getting through to them is difficult, but I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) last month when I had a payment issue and they got me connected to a DEO agent in about 20 minutes instead of spending hours redialing. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj

when mine was late i checked the payment status on CONNECT and it said processed but when i clicked on the transaction details it said something about ACH return or something??? had to call them and update my bank info even tho nothing changed with my account. might be worth checking the detailed view not just the main payment screen

I work at a bank (not identifying which one for privacy), and I can tell you that there's often a delay between when government systems mark payments as "processed" and when they actually initiate the ACH transfer. Then there's additional processing time at the receiving bank. If DEO marked it processed on Friday, they might not have actually sent the ACH file until Monday, which means many banks wouldn't post it until Wednesday or Thursday. Each bank has different ACH processing schedules. I know it's stressful when you're counting on that money, but based on the timing you described, I wouldn't consider this unusual yet.

Just checking back - did your payment ever arrive? Mine finally came through this morning, so hopefully yours did too!

glad u got it! same thing happened to my cousin last month too btw. seems like they do this payment delay thing pretty often now
