Missing unemployment direct deposit from DEO - only received partial payment

check ur bank statement again maybe? sometimes they do split payments and they come in like a day or 2 apart. happened to me before.

This happened to me in February!!! The CONNECT system was showing both payments as processed but only one actually came through. I spent TWO WEEKS trying to get ahold of someone at DEO. They kept disconnecting me or I'd be on hold for hours and then get hung up on. When I finally got through, they said there was a 'processing error' and they had to manually release the second payment. Took another week to actually get the money. The whole system is a JOKE - they don't care that people are waiting on money for bills!

I work with unemployment claims frequently, and this is unfortunately a common issue. What's happening is that one of your payments likely has a hold that wasn't properly reflected in your CONNECT account. Here's what to do: 1. First, double-check your Payment History section in CONNECT and look at the status of each individual week. Sometimes a week can show as 'paid' initially but actually have a hidden issue. 2. Look in your Determination/Pending Issues section to see if there's any new items there. 3. Contact DEO directly - this is really the only way to resolve payment discrepancies. I know the phone lines are frustrating, but keep trying different times of day. Early morning (7:30-8:00am) tends to have shorter wait times. 4. You can also try sending a message through the CONNECT portal under 'Contact Us' specifically mentioning the missing payment amount and the weeks it covers.

I had something similar last month but it turned out one of my payments was sent to my old bank account even though I had updated my direct deposit info. Did you change your banking info recently? Maybe check with your old bank if you did.

If you're having trouble getting through to DEO, try using Claimyr. I was in the same situation with missing payments last month and was going crazy trying to reach someone. The Claimyr service got me connected to a real DEO agent in about 20 minutes after I'd been trying for days on my own. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj The DEO agent was able to see that my second payment was stuck in processing and they pushed it through while I was on the phone. The money showed up the next day. You can check them out at claimyr.com - seriously saved me so much frustration.

Did u check if maybe there was an overpayment on a previous claim? Sometimes DEO will take back money from new payments if they think they paid u too much before. My friend had this happen and half her payment disappeared but it was because of an overpayment from like 6 months earlier.

ALSO check if they took out child support!!!! They don't always tell you but they can take it right out of ur benefits if you have any outstanding child support. Happened to my brother and he was so confused why his payments were less.

After reading through all your responses, I'm pretty confident this is a technical glitch in their payment processing system rather than an intentional hold. These types of issues typically require speaking directly with a claims specialist who can access the backend of the system. One other option I didn't mention: you can try contacting your state representative's office. Many of them have staff dedicated to helping constituents with DEO issues, and they often have direct contacts with higher-level DEO staff. Just google "[your county] state representative Florida" and you should find your rep's contact info.

any update? did u get ur money?
