Money Network Card missing for PFL despite completing baby bonding transition - stuck in limbo!

Same thing happnd to me! Started SDI in January, transition to PFL in March, no card for weeks. BofA said not their problem, Money Network said not in system. Such BS!

I had this exact problem during the transition. Turns out, EDD has to manually flag accounts that started with BofA and continued with Money Network for the new card issuance. Your claim is probably stuck in this in-between state. Have you tried checking if your funds are still being deposited to your old BofA card? Mine were for the first 2 weeks of PFL even though technically they shouldn't have been.

I work for a disability management company and we've seen this EXACT issue with dozens of clients. There's a specific code EDD has to enter for "transition claimants" who started on one payment system and continued on another. Until that code is entered, Money Network won't even have your info in their system to create a card. Unfortunately, only an EDD rep with the right access level can fix this. Their phone system is completely overloaded because of this transition disaster.

call them at 6am when they open thats what i did

After struggling with this EXACT situation for weeks, I finally got through to EDD using Claimyr (claimyr.com). They basically call EDD for you and get you connected to a live person who can actually help. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM?si=6N1iCQ3a8Cdb2Ay5 The EDD rep I spoke with confirmed exactly what the disability management person said above - there's a specific transition code they need to add to accounts caught between the BofA and Money Network changeover. Got my card 5 days after they fixed it in their system.

I think everyone needs to calm down a bit here. This payment system transition has been announced for over a year. EDD sent multiple notices about it. I received my Money Network card within 7 days of my claim being approved. Maybe double-check your mailing address is correct in the system?

I finally resolved this exact issue last week! Here's what worked: 1. First, double-check your online account to make sure your PFL claim shows as "approved" not just "processed" (they're different statuses) 2. You need to speak with someone in the Benefits Payment Control unit specifically - regular EDD reps often can't see or fix the transition code issue 3. When you do get through, ask them to check if you have a "payment method designation code" on your account. If it's missing, that's why Money Network can't find you 4. After they fix it, you'll receive the card in 5-10 business days It's incredibly frustrating but once the right code is applied, things move quickly. This transition has been handled terribly by EDD.

Just wanted to update - I called using Claimyr this morning like someone suggested above and finally got through to a real person at EDD! They confirmed my account was missing the transition code and fixed it on the spot. The rep said my Money Network card should arrive within 7-10 business days. Such a relief!

I'm dealing with this exact same nightmare right now! Started SDI in December, transitioned to PFL in February, and it's been 3 weeks with no Money Network card. My EDD online account shows everything as approved but Money Network says I don't exist in their system. I've called EDD 50+ times and can't get through their phone maze. Reading through these comments, it sounds like the "payment method designation code" is the key issue. Going to try Claimyr today since multiple people here had success with it. This whole transition has been such a disaster - how can they switch payment systems without having proper procedures in place for ongoing claims? Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, at least now I know I'm not alone in this mess!
