ESD claim switched from 'pending' to 'processing' - how many days until payment hits?

congrats on getting to processing! mine took 3 days to go from processing to paid, then another day for the $$ to hit my bank account. but i hear it can vary

Processing to paid typically takes 2-3 business days in the ESD system. After that, it depends on your bank's processing time which can add 1-2 more business days. Important to note that weekends don't count as business days. So if your status changed yesterday (assuming it was a weekday), you might see it change to paid by mid-week, and the money might hit your account by Thursday or Friday if all goes smoothly.

Just dont count on it 100% for rent. ESD can be unpredictable. My last claim said processing for almost 2 weeks before it moved to paid!!! No explanation why

I've been through this rodeo a few times with ESD. If you need to speak with someone about your claim (especially if it gets stuck in processing), try using Claimyr.com. I wasted days trying to get through the normal phone lines, then found this service that actually got me connected to an ESD agent in under 30 minutes. They have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 In my experience, once it hits processing without any issues flagged, payment usually comes through fairly quickly - but having a way to reach someone if there's a problem is crucial.

This happened to me last month! Processing is a good sign, but there's still stuff happening behind the scenes. Mine went: Pending → Processing (2 days) → Paid (1 day) → Money in account! But my sister's took way longer for some reason??? Like 10 days from processing to paid. ESD moves in mysterious ways lol

THE ESD SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN!! Been on unemployment twice and both times they've messed up payments. First time took 5 weeks to get paid, second time was 3 weeks. They say 2-3 days but DONT BELIEVE IT!! Their website shows these statuses but the people working there don't even know what they mean half the time. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and be prepared to fight for your money!!!

Just to add some additional context: If your claim has any potential issues (like if you reported partial work, had vacation pay, or if your employer contests anything), it can extend the processing time. But for straightforward claims where everything is verified and there are no discrepancies, the 2-3 business day timeline for processing to paid is generally accurate in my experience. Then add 1-2 days for bank processing. The good news is that seeing it move from pending to processing means the initial verification steps have been completed successfully.

hey just wondering did ur money come through yet? im in the same boat (processing since friday) and getting anxious
