Does EDD transfer bank info to new Money Network debit card automatically?

From my experience with the last EDD card provider change, your direct deposit information will NOT automatically transfer. You'll need to set up your direct deposit preferences again once you receive your new Money Network card. The EDD isn't allowed to share your banking details between providers due to privacy regulations.

dont panic! they usualy send notice like 3-4 wks b4 any change happens. just watch ur mail for the new card, then setup ur stuff right away when u get it.

I work in financial services and deal with this kind of transition regularly. Here's what you need to know: 1) Direct deposit info NEVER transfers between card issuers due to security protocols 2) EDD will send your new Money Network card about 2-3 weeks before the transition 3) Once you receive it, you MUST activate it and set up your direct deposit preferences again 4) Your funds will NOT be lost during the transition - any pending payments will be applied to your new card I recommend setting a calendar reminder to check your mail daily during the transition period. The envelope is often plain and can look like junk mail.

To answer your question about the old card - any remaining balance on your previous card will still be accessible using that card until you spend it down. The old card provider typically keeps your card active for 1-3 years after the transition, but they won't receive new deposits. New payments will only go to your Money Network card.

I had so many problems last time EDD switched card providers! I ended up spending HOURS trying to get through to EDD on the phone to fix issues with my missing payments. The only way I finally got through was using this service called Claimyr that connects you directly to EDD agents without the hours of redialing. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km that shows how it works. Saved me so much frustration during the transition when my card never arrived and they had to issue a replacement.

It's definitely legit - I was skeptical too but it actually got me through to an EDD rep in about 30 minutes instead of spending days trying to call myself. You can check out reviews online. Their website is claimyr.com if you want to look into it.

omg why is EDD always changing stuff!? just when u figure out how 2 use 1 system they switch 2 something else!! 🤬

One important tip about the Money Network cards that I haven't seen mentioned yet - they have different ATM networks and fee structures than the old provider. Make sure to read all the documentation that comes with your new card, especially regarding ATM withdrawals and transfer limits. This can save you from unexpected fees.

I went thru a similar card transition with my food stamps account last year and it was a total mess for weeks. Just prepare yourself mentally that there might be hiccups. I'd recommend keeping some emergency money aside if possible just in case there's a delay with your benefits during the switchover.

Here's another tip based on the last EDD card transition: take screenshots of your payment history and account balance before the switch. This gives you documentation if there are any discrepancies after the transition. I've seen cases where payment records weren't properly transferred and having your own records made resolving issues much faster.
