I have a few envelopes that didn’t fill this month for some reason. Others did but three of them did not. They had negative starting balance but they did get filled up last month with the same negative balance start.

I can think of a couple of things you might check: are your Fills and your Budget aligned? If you’ve changed the budget you’ll also want to adjust your Fills to match. Second, is your Fill set to just Add the budgeted amount (which may not be enough to cover the negative balance) or Set the envelope back to the budgeted total?  
I’m thinking one of those “fixes” will get you back on track.  
Hope that helps!

Thank you! I do have unallocated income so that shouldn’t be the issue. Also, it did fill up last month on schedule.
