ESD payment shows 'paid' on Saturday - when will money hit my bank account?

It should be in your account on Monday morning. ESD processes payments on their end over the weekend, but banks don't process deposits until the next business day. I've been on UI for 3 months and mine always shows up Monday when it says 'paid' on Saturday. However, depending on your bank, it could sometimes take until Tuesday. Chase and most major banks usually post it Monday morning.

depends on ur bank honestly. mine takes 2 days always

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me last month. ESD showed paid on Saturday but money didn't arrive until Tuesday morning. I have KeyBank. I nearly had a panic attack because I needed to pay my car payment. If you're worried, you might want to call your landlord and explain the situation - most will give you a day or two grace period if you communicate ahead of time.

The timing depends on both ESD and your bank's processing systems. Here's how it typically works: 1. ESD marks claims as "paid" when they've processed the payment on their end 2. The ACH transfer is then initiated to your bank 3. Banks typically process these transfers on business days only So if it shows paid on Saturday, the money should appear in your account on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If you don't see it by Wednesday morning, then there might be an issue worth investigating. One thing to note: if this is your very first payment, it sometimes takes an extra day because the bank connection is being established for the first time.

My money alwaus shows up on wensday even when it says paid on friday!! THE ESD SYSTEM IS BROKEN the website says one thing but they do another thing its all about tricking us so we dont complain to much

I've been trying to call ESD for a week about a similar issue with my payment timing and can't get through at all. Has anyone had any luck getting an actual person on the phone lately? The automated system just keeps disconnecting me after 30+ minutes on hold.

Last month my payment said "paid" on a Saturday but didn't hit my account until Wednesday! I have a credit union though and they're always super slow with everything. I freaked out and called ESD (took forever to get through) and they just said it was sent and to be patient. So annoying. I switched to direct deposit after that because my payment card was even slower.

Just to follow up on this thread - did your payment arrive on Monday as expected? It helps others to know what the typical timing is like in 2025, as ESD sometimes changes their processing schedules.

Great to hear it worked out! This is really helpful info for others in similar situations. BECU does seem to be pretty reliable with government deposits - I've had good experiences with them too. It's always nerve-wracking when you're counting on that money for bills, but at least now you know the typical timeline for future payments. Glad you made it through the adjudication process and are finally getting your benefits!

Just wanted to add my experience for anyone else who might be wondering about timing - I've been getting UI benefits for about 8 months now and the pattern is pretty consistent. When ESD shows "paid" on Saturday, the money hits my account (Wells Fargo) on Monday around 3-4am. When it shows "paid" on Friday, it usually arrives the same Monday. The only time I've had delays was during a federal holiday when banks were closed an extra day. One tip: if you're stressed about timing like the OP was, you can usually see pending deposits in your online banking on Sunday evening, even though they won't officially post until Monday morning. That at least gives you peace of mind that it's coming!
