There is not an exact date for processing a check. If you think about it, you would
know that is an impossibility. A few examples:
USA Postal Mail - Does not run on Sundays and it does not run on holidays
Death and Sickness - Death or severe sickness in the CS family
Internet - Actually not a whole lot different than offline in regards to the
sources utilized for processing checks and they all have their own agendas.
You can obviously cash out for a check, any time you want to. You can cash
out on the first of the month, the second, the tenth, the last of the month,
any day at any time of the month you want.
However, to ENSURE that you receive a check within the month designated,
it is a good idea to request it BY the 5th of the month. This ensures you will
receive the check before the end of said month. In the mean time, you can
continue adding earnings to your pending cash out until that pending cash
out goes into processing. Once it changes from pending to processing, you
can't add any more earnings to that check.
Checks are usually processed on or about the 10th of the month. Here again,
it is impossible to say that checks will be processed on the 10th if there is no
mail running on the tenth or some other reason.
Checks are usually received in the third or fourth week of the month.
