DEO payment timeline when claiming on Wednesday instead of Monday?
Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about the DEO payment schedule. I usually claim my weeks on Monday and see deposits hit my account on Tuesday. But this time, I need to claim on Wednesday (8.12) due to a work interview on Monday and doctor appointment Tuesday. Will I still get paid the next day (Thursday), or does the Wednesday claim take longer to process? Trying to plan my bills accordingly since my rent is due next week. Thanks for any help!

it depends on ur bank honestly. i claim on wednesday sometimes and my credit union usually posts it friday morning. the DEO still processes it the next day but some banks hold it longer than others

•That makes sense about the bank holding time. My bank is Wells Fargo - anyone know if they typically delay deposits from DEO?

The DEO payment processing follows the same timeline regardless of which day you claim. They typically process payments the next business day after you claim your weeks. However, when the money actually hits your account depends on your payment method and financial institution. If you're using direct deposit: - DEO processes payment on Thursday - Most banks take 1-2 business days to post the deposit - Some credit unions and online banks post same-day If you're using the Way2Go debit card: - Funds are typically available the same day DEO processes it Hope this helps with your planning!

•Thank you so much for breaking this down! I'm using direct deposit with Wells Fargo, so sounds like I should expect it Friday most likely. That still works with my rent deadline, phew!

In my experience the day you claim doesnt matter BUT sometimes the system glitches when u claim on weird days!! happened to me twice where I claimed on wed instead of my normal monday and my payment got stuck in pending for a week!! had to call DEO and everything. maybe I just had bad luck tho???

•I've claimed on different days plenty of times and never had this issue. Sounds like those might have been coincidental system issues or perhaps something with your specific claim type. The CONNECT system doesn't prioritize claims based on which day they're submitted - they're all processed in the same queue. If anyone does experience a delay though, Claimyr (claimyr.com) is great for getting through to a live agent quickly instead of calling for hours. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj showing how it works. I used it when my payment got stuck in adjudication and was able to speak with someone in about 20 minutes.

The CONNECT system processes ALL payments the next business day regardless of which day you claim!!! HOWEVER, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is NOTORIOUS for random glitches and delays!!! I've been on unemployment 3 times in the past 7 years and EVERY SINGLE TIME there's some random issue. One time claiming on Wednesday caused my work search audit to trigger (they randomly check those you know). Another time it was fine. Their system is UNPREDICTABLE at best!!

•It really does seem like everyone has slightly different experiences. I'll update the thread once I see when my payment arrives to add another data point.

Just to add some clarification - the payment process is: 1. You claim your weeks on CONNECT 2. DEO processes it the next business day (generates payment) 3. Your bank or Way2Go card then makes funds available So while DEO is pretty consistent with next-day processing, it's steps 2-3 where variations occur. If you claim Wednesday, they process Thursday, and your bank typically takes 1 day, you'd see it Friday. If your bank takes 2-3 days, it might be Monday. Good luck with your job interview, by the way! Hope it goes well.

•Thank you! The interview went well, but still waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed I won't need unemployment much longer. Really appreciate everyone's help in figuring out the payment schedule!
