Direct deposit time????

I need a straight answer. Not the run-around or a copy and paste answer. I set up direct deposit with the Cash Card debit MasterCard and my Social Security payment is SUPPOSED to be in on the third of EACH month. It's the third and zilch. SSA has the correct information. If I don't have that money, I'm **bleep**! (Don't bleep me because it's NOT a curse word!) I WILL be on the streets if that money is not in today! It's 1am Central Time and I'm still waiting! WHAT TIME DO DIRECT DEPOSITS ARRIVE??? I NEED A STRAIGHT ANSWER!!!

I thought PayPal did that like my other cards like greendot & ace flare I was getting my disability 5 days early I received it when social security released it. I researched PayPal seen they Had early access to direct deposit But I didn't get early access 😒 I get my disability on 3rd Wednesday of each month & that's when it came & has for the last 3 months so I had to switch back to other account. 3rd Wednesday is late in the month especially when it falls on the 20th. I Need it a little sooner Hate I didn't get it early as you have because I Truly Love PayPal account, No Fees, I just like so many of the other features unfortunately I Have to have early access. Idk if only regular Social Security recipients get early access But Disability recipients Don't

My employer, once the set up the payroll say on a Wednesday, I get the Money on a Friday, however I also have a percent go into my Jackson Hewitt American Express card and I get that a day sooner. 

 

It all depends on the bank your employer has, as well as the depositing bank such as PayPal's bank. It just all depends on the time the employer puts the deposit in.

I heard its 5dsys faster for DD....hoping it keeps up to my Netspend account where I was recieving SSI DD on the 25th of every month unless that day fell on a weekend or holiday.Then it could be even faster.....I even liked the $80 overdraft package netspend gave me.. Use to really come in use...

Did you get yours early? I didn't & switched Back to Netspend. My Disability like yours comes late in the month on 3rd Wednesday of the month so I Needed that 5 day early access. Which is them giving access As Soon as Social Security Releases it. Never had Any problems getting the Friday Before 3rd Wed (5days early) with Netspend, Greendot Or Ace Flare. Hate PayPal for some reason doesn't have this For All direct deposits. It Is them Not the sender as they tried to tell me.

Yeah, I just started and the first dad came one day earlier when I thought it was at least two days earlier. With Green Dot, mine was coming 5 to 7 days earlier. Too bad my account was hacked or something or I’d still get Green Dot dd, it’s a nightmare not knowing exactly when it’s gonna get deposited with PayPal, with Green Dot, there was no worries, it always came 5or 7 days earlier without fail, and I was able to order and write checks as well. I sure hope PayPal gets early dad and checks the same way, but more then anything else, I hope I can quickly resolve my bank debt history, get in good standing, and open another bank account
