DEO payment showing 'issued' but not in my bank account yet - normal wait time?

Congrats on getting approved! Mine usually takes 1-2 business days to show up in my Wells Fargo account after it says 'issued' in CONNECT. Sometimes it shows as pending in my account first thing in the morning and posts later that day. If it was issued today, I'd expect it tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Don't panic if it doesn't show immediately - the first payment always seems to take the longest for some reason.

i got mine this morning, it said issued yesterday! bank of america if that helps

The timeframe depends on your bank's processing schedule. DEO typically releases payments within 24-48 hours after showing as 'issued' in CONNECT, but then your bank needs to process it. First payments sometimes take slightly longer due to verification processes. If you don't see it by Friday, you might want to contact DEO to verify the banking information they have on file is correct - a single digit wrong in your account number could mean the payment is being rejected and returned to DEO. Also, double-check your CONNECT account to make sure the direct deposit information is accurate. Some people have had issues where their payment method accidentally reverted to the Way2Go debit card even though they selected direct deposit.

STILL WAITING ON MINE AFTER 5 DAYS!!!!! shows issued last friday but i got NOTHING in my account!!! called my bank and they don't see ANY pending deposits!! this is so frustrating i have bills due TODAY and now im getting late fees!!!!

If it's been marked as issued today, you probably won't see it until tomorrow at the earliest. The banking system operates on business days, and ACH transfers typically take 1-3 business days to complete. Also worth noting - if this is your very first payment, sometimes there's an extra verification step that can add a day. Check your CONNECT account again tomorrow morning, and you should see it move from 'issued' to 'processed.' Once it says 'processed,' it's definitely on the way. If you don't see the money by Friday, I'd recommend trying to reach a DEO agent to confirm your banking details are correct in their system. I spent weeks trying to get through on the regular phone line before I found Claimyr (claimyr.com). They got me connected to a DEO agent in under an hour when I was dealing with missing payments. Their video shows how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj. Saved me from having my electricity shut off while waiting for my benefits.

this happened to me last month. my payment said issued but the money went to a way2go card that i never activated or even knew about!!! i thought i had direct deposit set up but somehow it got changed in the system. check if you have a way2go card section in your connect account. if u do they might have sent it there instead of your bank.

Mine hit my account this morning! It said issued in CONNECT yesterday afternoon, so less than 24 hours for me with SunTrust/Truist. Hoping yours comes through just as fast. That first unemployment payment is such a relief.

Just a heads up, make sure you keep doing your work searches while waiting! I got so focused on my payment issues I forgot to log my 5 work searches one week and got disqualified for that week. Don't make my mistake!

As an update to my earlier comment - I just checked the DEO website and they're reporting a processing delay for direct deposits initiated today. They're saying to allow up to 3 business days for these specific payments to reach bank accounts. This might explain why you're not seeing it yet.

Same situation here! My payment showed as issued this morning and I'm with Chase too. Based on what everyone's saying, it sounds like we should see it by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. I've been checking my account obsessively but trying to remember that the banking system just takes time. The stress is real when you're down to your last few dollars though - I totally get it. Fingers crossed both our payments come through soon!

I'm in the exact same boat! My payment showed as "issued" this morning and I also bank with Chase. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring - it sounds like 1-2 business days is pretty typical. I've been refreshing my banking app way too much today but I'm going to try to be patient until Thursday like others suggested. The waiting is so stressful when you're running low on funds, but it's good to know this timing seems normal for first payments. Thanks for posting this question - all the responses are super helpful for those of us going through this for the first time!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My payment just showed as "issued" this afternoon and I'm also with Chase. Reading through all these responses is giving me so much peace of mind - it sounds like 1-2 business days is pretty standard, especially for first payments. I was starting to panic when I didn't see anything pending in my account yet, but it seems like that's totally normal. The stress of waiting when you're almost out of money is real! Thanks for asking this question because all the answers are super helpful for those of us navigating this for the first time.

I'm in a very similar situation! My payment just showed as "issued" this morning and I also have Chase. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful - it sounds like 1-2 business days is pretty typical, especially for first unemployment payments. I was starting to get anxious when I didn't see anything pending yet, but it seems like that's completely normal. The financial stress while waiting is definitely real when you're running on fumes! I'm going to try to be patient until Thursday like others suggested before I start worrying. Thanks so much for posting this question - all these responses are giving me (and clearly others in the same boat) so much peace of mind about the timing!

I'm going to try to follow everyone's advice and wait until Thursday before getting too worried. Thanks for posting this - it's amazing how many of us are in the exact same situation with the same bank!
