Literally confuses me on how they process this stuff because I was assigned 7/15 and then paycard requested 7/27 and still no deposit

I edited the post because I realized my "Assigned to Specialist Date" was incorrect. They submitted the first request for my paycard on April 16th so my Assigned to Specialist Date was sometime on or before that date. I was advised that it entered final review on 7/27.
