How to update EDD automatic payment? Tips needed!

I just did this last week! It's not too bad, but make sure you have all your banking info ready. Also, double-check everything before you submit. I almost entered the wrong routing number 😅

Ugh, good luck. I tried to update mine and the system kept crashing. Ended up having to call them directly. Took FOREVER to get through.

Make sure you keep a record of when you made the change and take screenshots if possible. EDD messed up my payment once and having proof saved my butt.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to be confusing on purpose? 🤔 Like, why can't they make this stuff easier?

Here's a detailed guide on updating your automatic payment: 1. Log into your EDD account 2. Navigate to the 'Payment Methods' section 3. Select 'Update Payment Information' 4. Enter your new banking details (double-check everything!) 5. Confirm the changes 6. Wait for a confirmation email (usually within 24 hours) 7. Check your account in 3-5 business days to ensure the update is reflected Pro tips: - Do this early in the week to avoid weekend processing delays - Keep your old account open until you confirm the new one is working - If you don't see the changes after a week, call EDD directly Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Am I the only one who's never had issues with EDD? Every time I've needed to update something it's been pretty smooth sailing 🤷‍♀️

PSA: If you're updating your payment info, make sure you're on the official EDD website! There are scams out there trying to steal your info. Always double-check the URL!

Just went through this process myself! One thing I'd add to all the great advice here - if you're switching from one bank to another, definitely keep both accounts open for at least 2-3 weeks after making the change. EDD sometimes takes longer than expected to process updates, and you don't want to risk missing a payment because your old account got closed too early. Also, if you run into any issues with the online system, try using different browsers - Chrome worked better for me than Firefox for some reason. Good luck with the update!

Thanks for posting this question! I'm in a similar situation and was dreading having to figure this out. Reading through all these responses has been super helpful. The step-by-step guide from Sophia is exactly what I needed, and all the warnings about scam sites and keeping accounts open longer are things I wouldn't have thought of. It's crazy how something that should be simple can be so stressful when it's your benefits on the line! I'm definitely going to screenshot everything and do this on a weekday morning like suggested. Has anyone had experience updating from a credit union to a major bank? Wondering if that makes any difference in processing time.
