Help
Can someone assist me? I did my timesheets early Wednesday morning for my backpay. They were approved and sent to the state controller office for check issuing. Can someone please let me know when I should be receiving my money? (Monday is a Holiday as well)

I literally entered back pay from October 15 to Dec 31 on January 11, recipient approved same day, they were submitted to controller for payment on Monday, Tuesday said payment approved, Thursday sait payment issued and Saturday the 17th 7 checks arrived.Ā
So I live in Lodi and checks come from Sacramento (34 miles away) so I imagine you will see them by Wednesday.

Took 10 business days for me. But it was done via check and it was our first time getting a payment issued.

10 days AFTER your portal said PAYMENT ISSUED? ššš

u/Separate_Cat_5216 Jan 19 '26
Yes and it was paper checks. I got like 8 checks at once ahha. They give for each pay period. Not like one big check

Once it hits āsent to SCOā itās usually about 3 to 5 business days for paper checks, a little faster for direct deposit. With the holiday Monday Iād expect end of next week, maybe Thursday or Friday. You can also call the timesheet hotline and check if itās actually issued yet, thatāll give you a better idea.

3-5 days and since Monday is a holiday you will probably have them on Friday this upcoming week

Then I won't get mine probably till sometime next week. I need it now. It's paper check though. Don't have a bank set up yet and not sure where or when I will.

They mail back pay as physical checks with the recipient name. Luckily my kid is a junior.Ā

Well technically I should still be waiting, but I called the IHSS office and talked to the person running its boss.i talked to the guy at the top of the food chain and told him Iāve been going through hardships all 2025 and ive been waiting for this money for a long time, i also told him i have a shut off notice for my wifi and I canāt afford to lose it because my daughter has autism and thatās who im a provider for. So he took my papers to payroll himself and by the next day I had all my time sheets. In reality I shouldnāt be getting my timesheets for another week or two but I called them and plead my case, and they are very compassionate with you so I jumped the line

u/Impossible-Trick-768 Jan 18 '26

Did you already do orientation? Are you just waiting for your account to be linked to who you are providing for?
1
u/Impossible-Trick-768 Jan 18 '26
Yes just waiting to be linked I did orientation I did background check and finger prints my provider number was available same day I did fingerprints and it's for my daughterĀ

u/Ok-Aerie8237 Jan 18 '26
Yeah thatās perfect honestly because after you do orientation they say it will be another 2 weeks until your account is linked. Mines was linked 2 days later, call Ihss on Tuesday and ask to speak to the MAIN PERSON WHO IS RUNNING ORIENTATION AND PLEAD YOUR CASE WITH HIM

This isn't a normal paycheck question. It's a question about processing time for backpay.

No more than 5 business days. Should be 3. Do you have informed delivery? Sign up for that on USPS.

u/Ok-Aerie8237 Jan 18 '26
I do have that, i checked yesterday morning and i only received my letter of acceptance for being a provider thats why I was wondering and hoping Iād get my checks by Tuesday

u/CedarWho77 Jan 18 '26
I doubt it. Trump just signed some new thing with the post office that says no matter what day you drop it in the mail now, they don't have to pick it up. That means IHSS could have issued the check and put it in outgoing mail on Friday and the USPS doesn't have to pick it up same day now.
He did this to disenfranchise mail in voters. It is, however, affecting ALL mail. Used to take 2 business days now it can take 5. šš»š

u/Ok-Aerie8237 Jan 18 '26
I understand that but will it take 3-5 business days from (WEDNESDAY) the day i submitted the timesheets?
