How long after status changes to 'eligible' until payment hits my account? (DEO wait since January)

congrats! it usally takes like 2-3 buisness days before u see the $$$ hit ur bank. They sent mine on thursday last month and got it monday. the $300 comes seperate and usually 1-2 days after the regular payment

The timeline varies depending on your bank. With my credit union, payments issued on Monday or Tuesday typically arrive the next business day. If issued Wednesday-Friday, it usually hits my account Monday morning. To answer your second question, the $300 FPUC benefit comes in a separate transaction, typically 24-48 hours after your regular state benefit. They're processed through different systems but follow the same deposit method you selected (direct deposit or Way2Go card). Pro tip: If your payment status says "issued" in CONNECT, you can actually call your bank to see if there's a pending deposit that hasn't posted yet. Sometimes they can see it in their system before it appears in your account.

DONT GET TOO EXCITED!!! my claim went to eligible after sitting in adjudication for 12 weeks but then it went BACK TO PENDING for another 4 weeks before actually getting paid. The DEO system is a complete mess and nothing is final until the $$ is actually in your account. just saying dont count ur chickens yet

If you've already received a payment issuance notification in CONNECT, you're past the risk of reverting back to pending. The payment process follows this sequence: 1. Eligible determination 2. Payment processing (internal DEO step) 3. Payment issuance (what you're seeing now) 4. Bank processing (where you are now) 5. Deposit available The timing depends partly on your bank's ACH processing schedule. Most major banks make funds available within 1-2 business days after receiving the ACH file from Florida DEO. Credit unions sometimes take an extra day. Regarding the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation ($300), that's processed separately but follows the same deposit timeline. It normally arrives 1-3 days after your regular unemployment compensation. One thing to verify - make sure your banking information is correct in CONNECT. Double-check the routing and account numbers under your payment method section to avoid any delays.

I was in the exact same situation last month!!! The waiting game is absolutely infuriating. For me it took exactly 2 business days for the regular payment and then the $300 came the next day. The DEO is seriously stuck in the dark ages with their payment processing 🙄

If you're tired of waiting and need to speak with someone at DEO about your payment status, I'd recommend trying Claimyr. After 3 weeks of constant busy signals and disconnects, I used their service last month and got connected to a DEO agent in about 20 minutes. They basically call DEO for you and then connect you when they get through. Saved me days of frustration trying to get answers about my delayed payments. Their site is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj

Just wanted to update you - several of my clients who received payments this week are reporting that the deposits are coming through faster than usual. One received her payment just one business day after it showed as issued in CONNECT. So you might see yours sooner than expected!

UPDATE: My regular UI payment just hit my account this morning! Exactly 2 business days after it showed as issued in CONNECT. Now waiting on the $300 federal portion. Such a relief after months of waiting and stressing about bills. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!
