ESD payment says 'paid' on November 17 but still nothing in my account - normal delay?

It's normal for there to be a 2-3 business day delay between when ESD marks your claim as 'paid' and when the money actually appears in your account. If today is the 20th, and the payment was marked paid on the 17th, I'd expect you'll see it today or tomorrow at the latest. Banks also process deposits differently - some show pending deposits, others don't show anything until it fully posts. What bank do you use?

happens to me EVERY WEEK!! esd says paid but takes 3-4 days to actually see money. system is broke but what can we do?? 🤷‍♂️

if its been more than 3 business days you should call them. sometimes they have random holds. happened to my brother last month and turns out they needed to verify something but never told him. good luck getting through tho, i spent like 4 hrs on hold last time i needed to talk to someone.

Just to add some additional information: ESD's payment process involves several steps even after they mark a payment as 'paid' in their system: 1. ESD marks the payment as 'paid' in their system 2. Their accounting department processes the batch payment (usually overnight) 3. The ACH transfer is initiated to your bank 4. Your bank receives and processes the deposit (can take 1-2 business days) If you filed on Sunday and it was marked paid on Wednesday (the 17th), I wouldn't worry until at least Monday the 22nd. If it still hasn't arrived by then, that's when I'd recommend contacting ESD to check if there's an issue. Make sure to check your ESD correspondence inbox too - sometimes they'll send notices about payment holds that require action.

Don't worry! This is totally normal. I'm on my second month of unemployment and here's my experience: ESD shows "paid" on Wednesday but the money doesn't hit my account until Friday morning almost EVERY WEEK. It's just how their system works. Their "paid" status just means they've approved it, not that they've actually sent the money that exact day. Banks also don't process ACH transfers on weekends, so if tomorrow is Friday, I bet you'll see it then!

glad u got ur $$$! one less thing to stress about!
