DEO payment stuck in pending status - how long until direct deposit actually shows up?

mine usually hits 2 business days after it says processed. but holiday weekends can def mess things up. i waited 5 days once over july 4th weekend. its so annoying how they dont explain this stuff clearly anywhere!

When CONNECT shows 'processed,' that means the DEO has sent the money to your bank, but banks don't process ACH transfers instantly or on weekends/holidays. If it was processed Friday, you probably won't see it until Tuesday or Wednesday because of Memorial Day. Direct deposits typically take 1-2 business days after DEO processes them, and banks don't count holidays or weekends as business days. Your payment is on the way, just stuck in the banking system now, not DEO's system.

it depends on ur bank too. some banks hold ACH transfers longer than others. my credit union takes foreverrr (3-4 business days) but my friend with Bank of America gets it way faster. DEO always sends it on their end when it says processed, its just a waiting game after that

I've been through this exact situation before. The holiday weekend definitely complicates things. If your payment status changed to 'processed' on Friday, here's what typically happens: 1. DEO initiates the ACH transfer when the status changes to 'processed' 2. The transfer enters the banking system's queue 3. Since Monday is a holiday, banks won't process any transfers 4. Tuesday would be the earliest possibility, but Wednesday is more likely One thing to note - if you're desperate to reach DEO to confirm everything is correctly processed, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I waited on hold for 4+ hours last month before giving up, then tried their service and got through to a DEO agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj But honestly, at this point it's likely just the banking system delay combined with the holiday weekend.

THEY ALWAYS DO THIS!! Every single holiday weekend the same thing happens and people panic. The DEO should put a big warning on the website explaining payment delays around holidays but they don't care how much stress they cause people. I've been on unemployment three different times over the years and EVERY SINGLE TIME there are delays around holidays. The banking system is from the stone age I swear.

have u checked ur payment method is correct in connect? my friend thought she had direct deposit set up but somehow it got switched to the way2go card and she waited 2 weeks for nothing before she realized. go to the payment method section and double check

One more tip - if you're really in a bind with your landlord, print out your CONNECT payment history page showing the payment was processed. Sometimes landlords will give you a couple extra days if you can prove the money is on the way. I've had to do this twice and both times my landlord was understanding once they saw official documentation.

OMG this reminds me of last year when I was on unemployment and my payment got stuck for THREE WEEKS because of some glitch after the 4th of July!!! I called like 50 times and couldn't get through to anyone. I almost lost my car over it. The DEO system is so broken. I hope yours comes through faster than mine did!!!

Can anyone tell me why CONNECT shows my payment as 'processed' but when I click on the payment details it says 'Payment Method: Direct Deposit Status: Canceled'? What does that mean? Now I'm worried reading this thread...

UPDATE: Just got the deposit this morning (Wednesday)! So it took 3 business days plus the holiday weekend. Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions. For anyone else searching about this - yes, it does take several business days after it shows 'processed' in CONNECT, and holidays definitely slow things down.

So glad to see your update that the money finally came through! This is exactly why I always tell people to expect 3-5 business days after it shows "processed" - especially around holidays. The DEO really needs to be more transparent about these timing delays. I've been helping people navigate unemployment issues for years and this confusion about payment timing comes up constantly. At least now anyone who finds this thread will know what to expect!

This is such a helpful thread! I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - my payment just switched to "processed" yesterday and I'm anxiously waiting for it to hit my account. Reading everyone's experiences here is really reassuring. It's crazy how the DEO system doesn't explain any of this timing stuff clearly. Like, would it kill them to add a simple note that says "allow 2-4 business days for direct deposit after processing, longer during holidays"? Would save so much stress and probably thousands of phone calls to their already overwhelmed call center. Anyway, thanks to everyone sharing their timelines - gives me hope that my payment will show up by Friday!
