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.
