EDD SDI payment issued but nothing on old BofA card - will I get a new one?

Yes, they send a new card every time! I went thru the same thing in January. The old one doesnt work with new claims. u should get it in 7-10 days after payment shows as issued.

That's actually not correct. EDD only sends a new card if your old one expired or if it's been more than 3 years since your last claim. Otherwise they reuse the same card. When did you last use your old card? And did you check that it hasn't expired? The expiration date is printed on the front.

I work at a medical office that helps patients with disability, and I see this confusion all the time. What probably happened is one of three things: 1. There's a delay between when EDD shows payment as "issued" and when Bank of America actually loads it onto your card (typically 2-3 business days) 2. Your old card is still valid but might need to be reactivated (try calling the number on the back) 3. If you changed any personal information between claims (address, name, etc.), they might have automatically issued a new card I suggest calling Bank of America's EDD card department directly at 1-866-692-9374 to check the status. They can tell you exactly what's happening with your funds.

Had this EXACT same issue in March 2025! Called EDD every day for a week and kept getting disconnected or wait times over 3 hours. FINALLY I discovered Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected to an EDD agent in under 25 minutes. The agent explained that my address had a slight difference from my previous claim so they automatically issued a new card. They were able to expedite the new card delivery. Check out their demo video if you want to see how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd

the same thing happened to me lol!! turned out i moved since my last claim and forgot to update my address with EDD. So they sent a new card to my old address! Had to call and get them to send a replacement. total nightmare

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at BofA! Turns out they DID issue a new card even though my old one wasn't expired. The rep said it's because there was a gap of more than 6 months between my claims. New card should arrive by next Tuesday. Thanks everyone for your help!

Wait so if I'm understanding all this correctly, does this mean every time someone goes on disability after being off it for a while, they automatically get a new card??? That seems so wasteful! Why can't they just use the same card forever like a regular debit card? The EDD system makes NO SENSE sometimes!!!
