DEO payment timeline? Claimed weeks yesterday but no direct deposit yet

For first-time claims with direct deposit, it usually takes 2-3 business days after the 'processed' status shows up. If you claimed yesterday, I'd expect to see it tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. The first payment often takes a bit longer than subsequent ones. After your first deposit, payments typically arrive within 24-48 hours of claiming if there are no issues with your claim.

DONT EXPECT IT ANYTIME SOON!!!! I claimed my weeks 8 days ago and STILL NOTHING! Called DEO like 50 times and cant get through to a real person. The system is completely BROKEN and they don't care at all about us. Good luck getting your $$ before your rent is due!

Direct deposit timing varies based on several factors: 1. First-time claims take longer (usually 3-5 business days) 2. Your bank's processing time affects when you see the deposit 3. If you claimed after 8:00 PM, it counts as the next business day 4. Holidays and weekends don't count as processing days Also, check your CONNECT inbox for any fact-finding notices or pending issues. Those will delay payment until resolved. The DEO won't directly tell you if there's a problem - you have to check your account regularly.

I know exactly what your going through! I was freaking out my first time 2. The website says it can take up to 3 days but mine came in like 36 hours. It helped that I check my claim status on CONNECT and made sure it said "processed" not "pending" because those are different things. As long as it says processed you should be good to go soon!

If you're having trouble getting through to DEO about your payments (which happens to almost everyone), I'd recommend using Claimyr. It got me through to an actual agent in under 20 minutes after I spent days trying on my own. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj and their website is claimyr.com. I was skeptical but it actually worked when I needed to fix a payment issue that was holding up my deposit for weeks.

my payments always hit my account on wednesdays since i claim on mondays. seems like they do batches or something. if u just claimed yesterday i wouldnt worry yet, prolly will come tomorrow

One more thing to consider - make sure you've entered your direct deposit information correctly in CONNECT. If there's any error in your routing or account number, it can cause delays or the payment might be returned to DEO. If that happens, they'll eventually send you a Way2Go debit card instead, but that takes even longer.

To answer your weekend question from earlier - DEO processes payments on business days only, but depending on your bank, funds can sometimes appear in your account on weekends. For most banks though, if a payment is sent Friday afternoon, you probably won't see it until Monday morning.

i got 2 different payments last week one took 1 day and the other took 4 days and they were claimed at the same time!!! deo makes no sense sometimes lol

Update: The money just hit my account! It was exactly 2 business days after claiming, like some of you mentioned. Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance - this whole unemployment process has been so stressful and confusing.

Awesome to hear you got your payment! That's such a relief when you're stressed about rent. For future reference, I've found that DEO payments usually hit my account between 6-8 AM on the day they're deposited, so if you don't see it first thing in the morning it's probably not coming that day. Also, keep an eye on your CONNECT account for any upcoming required certifications or work search requirements - missing those can delay future payments even if everything else is processed correctly.
