ESD claim shows 'paid' but no deposit in bank account after waiting week - holiday delay?

relax, its becuz of the holiday. my claim said paid last tues but $ didnt hit account till friday. banks are slower this week

The Presidents' Day holiday is definitely causing delays with direct deposits this week. ESD usually processes payments within 48 hours after a claim shows 'paid' status, but banking holidays add 1-2 business days to processing times. When a federal holiday falls on Monday like Presidents' Day, Tuesday becomes the first business day, so many payments won't hit accounts until Thursday or Friday. Also, some banks don't show pending deposits until they're fully processed. If your payment doesn't arrive by Friday, then you might want to check if there are any issues.

This EXACT thing happened to me in January!! My claim said PAID for three days straight but nothing in my bank account!! I called ESD like 50 times and couldn't get through to anyone. Finally got through on the fourth day and they said everything was fine, just a processing delay. Then the money showed up that afternoon. The ESD system is SO frustrating sometimes!!

It typically takes 2-3 business days after the 'paid' status appears for the funds to hit your account. With the holiday, you need to add an extra day. ESD processes payments in batches, but the banking system is what creates most delays. Some important details to know: 1. If this is your first payment after waiting week, it often takes slightly longer 2. The 'paid' status just means ESD has authorized the payment, not that the money has been sent 3. Your bank may hold funds for 24 hours even after receiving them 4. Holiday weekends always add delays I wouldn't worry unless it's still not there by Friday afternoon. Then you might need to contact ESD to check if there's an issue with your direct deposit information.

my friend had this happen and it turned out his direct deposit info was wrong even tho he thought he entered it right. double check all your bank info in your esd account. also some banks take foreeeever to process esd payments for some reason

Quick update question - has your payment arrived yet? Most holiday-delayed direct deposits should have processed by now. If you're still waiting, it might be worth contacting ESD before the weekend.
