# After I authorize my Vacation Benefits, how long before I receive my payment?

Initial payment begins every year on or around June 1, after authorization of benefits.

After June 1, direct deposits will be made within 3-5 days from the date Vacation Benefits are authorized. If a paper check option is selected, checks will be mailed within 3-5 days from the date of the redemption. Participants must allow 10 business days from the date of issue before a check may be traced if not received.

After the second week in June, payments will be processed weekly on Mondays.
