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!!!

Yea it is weird because i got my pymt for August 3rd on the 1st but i dont see Sept yet kind of fit to be tied. And its aggravating because PayPal representatives cant tell you anything you will ask them directly and they skate around the question and give you a anwser that sounds like they are reading off a script. But i noticed that with all prepaid card companies. Not direct answers but anwsers they were taught to give and you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you would contacting paypal in the us.

Ok the paypal debit card does not allow early access to your ssdi or any direct deposit early! The paypal pre-paid card serviced by netspend does up to 5 days early.

I'm sitting here the day of my DD. It is 7:27 am and no money. It is payroll from a city. I got my money 2 weeks ago the day of my DD but it was there when I got up that morning. A little nervous here, but I am going to wait until 9 am before I call my supervisor to get payroll on it. So for the people asking if it is faster. No, in my case it's been the day of...and rn for todays deposit I am wondering if at all.

Stressed out.. Chime and green dot paid me 5-8 days early.. VA benefits... But they're fees are terrible. So I'm trying paypal and it's less than 48 hours until the first but I'm dependent on at 3 days early at the latest... Is this common for government deposits to not be early with PayPal?

Absolutely not common at all in my case. I’ve done PayPal DD for my SSI government benefits going on 6 months. Every month PayPal Prepaid send me an email with projected DD dates and they always right on time. This month my husband got his in his account but I didn’t. When I called SSA I was told what the issue was. It had nothing to do with PayPal. It was a mistake made by an incompetent SSA case worker. Good luck to you.

Paypal is vague on purpose about direct deposit to their debut card. It dies NOT come early. Switch to the prepaid paypal
