We should receive our first payment from Google. It is now the 18th of the month and I do not see any Payments in the Payment column.
When can I expect to see the entry?
What is your experience?
Is there any one I can contact?

Thanks,

Jen

Brief, practical addendum following , and : the thread covers the basic expectation of a first Google payment, but it omits the exact places to check, common reasons a payment can be delayed, and the concrete steps to resolve a missing payout. Below is a compact checklist and troubleshooting workflow that fills those gaps.

Always check your Payments card and transaction history in the Google payments center (pay.google.com) and the AdSense Payments page — that is where Google posts finalized earnings, “Payment pending”/“Payment issued” line items, and any alerts about holds or missing info. Also confirm you are signed in with the Google Account that owns the payments profile. ()

What to expect after earnings finalize: Google posts finalized totals early in the following month and issues payouts in a fixed window; the time the money reaches a bank or arrives by check depends on the payment method. Bank transfers normally clear faster than wire transfers or mailed checks; if Google shows a payment as issued but you haven’t received it, first contact your bank and then check the Payments page for status updates. Note Google may temporarily withhold payments if an account is under policy review. ()

Common holds and how to fix them: missing tax information, identity or address (PIN) verification, no payment method selected, a self-imposed pause, or a compliance/invalid-activity review. Resolve holds by following the Payments-page alerts — submit tax forms when requested, enter your PIN to confirm address, add/verify bank details, or remove any self-hold. If tax info is required, submit it before the monthly cut-off to avoid rollover. ()

If a payment still does not arrive after these checks: capture screenshots of the Payments page and transaction lines, note dates and the payment method, then use the AdSense Help/Contact options or the AdSense contact form (eligibility depends on account status) to open a support case. Never post sensitive banking or ID info publicly. ()

Firstly, have you made over $100 so far? Google only sends out payments that are over $100. Secondly, Google pays NET 30, which means that they first send out the check or e-check at the end of the following month after it's earned. (This means that you will receive a check in the mail for May earnings in July)

Hi Dani,

Yes, we've surpassed the $100 minimum threshold, which happened before the end of May 2010.

So we should receive our payment in July then.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

The date of the payment seems to fluctuate for us, the good news is they always send the check. Sorry I could not have been more help.
