ESD payment showed 'paid' but no deposit in bank account - what happened?

this happend to me in January! the website said paid but no $$ in my account for like 3 days. turns out it was a bank holiday (MLK day) that pushed everything back. any chance today is a bank holiday?

There are several possible reasons for this situation: 1. Bank processing delays - even though ESD shows 'paid,' your bank might take 1-2 business days to process the deposit 2. Banking holidays can delay deposits 3. ESD occasionally has system glitches that show payments as 'paid' before they're actually processed 4. Your bank information might have been changed accidentally I'd recommend checking your payment details in your ESD account to verify the correct bank account is listed. If everything looks correct, give it until tomorrow morning before panicking. If nothing shows up by then, you should contact ESD directly.

The exact same thing happened to me last month and I was FREAKING OUT!!! Called my bank and they said they didn't see any pending deposits. Called ESD (or tried to anyway) and couldn't get through. The money showed up TWO DAYS LATER with no explanation!! The system is so frustrating sometimes!!!

Most likely this is just a processing delay. However, if you need to reach ESD to confirm, I'd recommend using Claimyr to get through to an agent. I was in a similar situation last month and spent days trying to get through on my own. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got connected to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. It was worth it to get an answer directly from ESD rather than stressing for days.

One thing to consider - did you recently change anything about your claim or weekly filing? Sometimes if there's a new employer added or if you reported earnings differently, it can trigger a brief review that delays payment by a day or two. The system still shows 'paid' because it's approved, but the actual money transfer gets delayed. Also, double-check your bank account details in your ESD profile. It's rare, but I've seen cases where the account numbers somehow get partially changed in the system.

let us know what happens! im betting it shows up tomorrow or wednesday

This whole unemployment system is such a joke. They expect us to file everything perfectly on time but then can't even get payments out reliably. And good luck getting answers when you call - I've spent HOURS just trying to talk to a human.
