ESD payment finally arrived after Governor's office intervention - timeline question

In my experience, it typically takes 2-3 business days for the payment to hit your bank account after the status changes to paid. ESD processes the payment immediately, but then it depends on your bank's processing time. Direct deposits are usually faster than the ESD debit card option. Don't panic yet - if your status already changed to paid, the money is definitely coming!

mine took 4 days exactly. status changed on monday and $$$ showed up friday morning. hang in there!!

Glad to hear the Governor's office helped! For your specific question, when my claim was finally approved after escalation, I saw the money in my account about 48 hours after the status changed to paid. However, this can depend on several factors: 1. Whether you're using direct deposit or the ESD debit card 2. If it was processed on a weekend or holiday 3. Your specific bank's processing times for ACH transfers If it's been more than 3-4 business days since the status changed to paid, I'd recommend reaching out to ESD to confirm the payment was actually processed. Sometimes there can be a disconnect between the status change and the actual payment transmission.

I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN!! The governor's office is literally the ONLY way to get anything done with ESD. They're completely useless otherwise. My payment took 5 FULL DAYS to show up after the status changed. And even then they tried to shortchange me for two weeks that I was clearly eligible for. The whole system is broken and designed to make you give up. Keep fighting!!

wait how did you contact the governor's office? i've been stuck in adjudication for like 7 weeks and can't get anyone on the phone

If you're desperate to get through to ESD directly before your money arrives, I used a service called Claimyr that actually worked for me after weeks of failed attempts. It cost some money but they got me connected to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes when I couldn't get through for weeks on my own. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Honestly, it was worth it to get my adjudication issue resolved and find out exactly when my payment would arrive.

When my payment status changed from pending to paid, the money showed up in my bank account exactly 3 business days later. But something else to consider - double check that your banking information is correct in your ESD account. I had a friend whose payment was delayed because she had accidentally transposed two digits in her account number when setting up direct deposit. If you've been waiting more than 4 business days, it might be worth verifying your banking details in the system.

my cousin had this happen and they said it was paid but the $ never came. turned out there was an overpayment on an old claim that they took the money for. might wanna check if you have any overpayment notices?

Just as an update for anyone searching this thread in the future - the standard processing time is 24-72 hours after your claim shows 'paid' status, but it can occasionally take up to 5 business days depending on banking institutions and whether weekends/holidays are involved. If you don't receive your payment after 5 business days, you should definitely contact ESD directly as there may be an issue with your payment processing.
