ESD direct deposit delayed this week - normal Wednesday deposits arriving Friday instead?

mine was late too!! usually gets there wed but didnt see it till thursday afternoon this time. no idea why

This happens periodically when ESD has processing backlogs or system maintenance. As long as your claim shows as "paid" in your eServices account, the money will arrive - it's just a matter of when. I've noticed delays typically happen at the start of a new quarter (which is now) or around holidays when their processing staff is reduced. If you don't see a status change in your eServices from "paid" to something else, I wouldn't worry too much yet.

OMG I'm freaking out because I'm having the SAME ISSUE!!! My payment is STILL not here and it's usually Wednesday like clockwork!!! Did your claim status change at all before it finally came? Did you have to do anything special?? I'm so worried they're going to cut me off for some reason with NO WARNING!!!

This happens every 3-4 months like clockwork. ESD never announces it, but I've been on UI twice in the last 5 years and noticed this pattern. The beginning of quarters (January, April, July, October) often have payment delays. The system is probably updating for the new quarter's calculations or something. As long as your eServices says it was paid, you'll get it.

If you need to check on your payment status, I've had luck using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an ESD agent quickly instead of waiting on hold forever. They got me connected in about 15 minutes when I was having payment issues last month. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. The agent was able to tell me exactly when my deposit would hit my account and why it was delayed (in my case it was a random identity verification flag).

I've worked with the ESD system for years helping people with claims. Here's what's happening: 1. Direct deposits are processed in batches, not individually 2. At the beginning of each quarter, ESD updates their payment systems 3. When a holiday falls in a week (like this past week), processing can get delayed 4. Bank processing times also vary - some banks hold ACH transfers longer than others If your claim status shows "paid" in eServices, your money is coming. If it shows something else like "pending" or "processing," then you might have an issue that needs addressing. The important thing is to check your actual claim status, not just your bank account.

hey my sister works at esd and she said theyve been having system issues this week with the direct deposit system. something about a software update gone wrong. should be back to normal next week

Update!!!! My payment JUST hit my account about an hour ago!!! Two days late but at least it's there! Check your accounts everyone!!
