ESD marked my payment as 'paid' but money still not in my account after 3 days - should I be worried?

chill out. banks can take upto 5 business days to process deposits. ive had mine take 4 days before. the weekends dont count as business days either

The delay is almost certainly on your bank's end, not ESD's. Once ESD marks it as paid, it's out of their system and on its way to your financial institution. Different banks have different processing times, and sometimes they can hold electronic deposits for additional verification, especially if the amount is different from your usual deposits. A few things that might help: 1. Check if your bank shows any pending deposits 2. Look at previous ESD deposits and see exactly how many business days they typically took 3. If you're still concerned after 5 business days, then it would be appropriate to contact ESD Try not to worry too much - this is fairly common and rarely indicates a real problem with the payment.

omg i had something similar happen last month!! i was freaking out cause rent was due and the money wasn't there. turned out my bank had flagged it for some reason?? had to call them and they fixed it right away. maybe check with your bank not esd

After your payment is marked paid by ESD, it is up to your financial institution to deposit funds into your account. Be patient.

I've noticed that ESD payments seem to take longer at the beginning of each quarter. Something about their accounting system recalibrating or whatever. Had the same issue in January - payment took 4 days instead of the usual 2. Wouldn't worry unless it goes beyond 5 business days.

If you've been trying to reach ESD about this, try using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in the same boat last month - payment marked as paid but nothing in my account for almost a week. Spent days trying to get through to ESD with no luck. Then I used Claimyr and got connected to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes. They confirmed my payment was actually sent and gave me a transaction ID I could provide to my bank. Turned out my bank was holding it for verification.

Give it 5 BUSINESS days before you start worrying. That's the standard processing time for ACH transfers between financial institutions. If ESD shows it as paid, they've done their part. Sometimes smaller banks or credit unions take longer to process incoming transfers, especially if they batch process them only on certain days. I've had unemployment payments take anywhere from 1-5 business days to hit my account, and it seemed totally random. The exact same bank and exact same payment amount could take different times in different weeks. You only need to contact ESD if: 1. It's been more than 5 business days 2. Your payment status on the ESD site changes from "paid" to something else 3. You get a notification of a problem with the payment

update? did u get ur payment yet?? mine finally came through this morning!
