SDI Debit Card Delay: Still Haven't Received It After Filing Claim

I found a way to solve SDI debit card delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vstWvhuJrV8

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through the same thing last year. Have you tried calling EDD directly? It's a pain to get through, but it's worth a shot.

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 with EDD. Sometimes cards get sent back if the address is wrong. 2. If it's been more than 10 business days since your claim was approved, call EDD and ask for a status update. 3. Make sure you haven't missed any identity verification requests. They sometimes hold cards if they need more info. 4. If all else fails, you can request a new card, but that'll take extra time. 5. Keep a record of all your calls and communications with EDD. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the email about the card ends up there lol

The whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months for my card. EDD needs to get there act together 🤬

Quick question - did you opt for direct deposit or the debit card? If you chose direct deposit, you won't get a card at all.

guys. i literaly just got my card yesterday after waiting for like 6 weeks. hang in there OP, it'll come eventually!

Has anyone else noticed that EDD seems to be slower lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or something.

Pro tip: If you do end up calling, have all your info ready. Claim number, SSN, address, etc. Makes the process go way faster if you get through.

This might sound crazy, but has anyone tried sending a certified letter to EDD? I did that out of desperation and actually got a response!
