EDD approved claim but no debit card or payment yet - how long does it usually take?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0qpmZ6X_j8

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It usually takes about 7-10 business days to get the card after approval, but it can vary. Have you tried calling them to check on the status?

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your mailing address on file 2. Call and ask for the exact date the card was mailed 3. Request expedited shipping if possible 4. Ask if there's a way to track the card 5. Verify there are no holds on your account If all else fails, you can request a check instead of the card. It might take a bit longer, but at least you'll get your money. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes the email with tracking info ends up there. Also, make sure to create an account on the debit card website once you get it. You can set up alerts for when money is added.

I had this problem and it turned out there was a flag on my account for identity verification. Didn't get any notice about it. Had to upload a bunch of documents to prove I was me. Might be worth asking if theres any pending issues on your claim.

anyone else think its crazy that in 2023 were still dealing with physical debit cards? why cant they just do direct deposit like a normal job smh
