EDD Money Network Card Arrival Time: How Long Does It Take?

I found a way to solve EDD Money Network card delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwNj0TPdvlM

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I heard some people have had luck that way.

have you tried checking your mailbox? 🤣

Here's what I know about the EDD Money Network card delivery process: • After your claim is approved, it usually takes 7-10 business days for the card to be mailed out. • The card is sent via regular mail, not express or priority. • You should receive an email notification when the card has been mailed. • If you haven't received your card within 10 business days of that email, you should contact Bank of America EDD Debit Card Customer Service. • Make sure your address is correct in your EDD account. Any discrepancies can delay the process. • If you've moved recently, you might need to update your address and request a new card. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

yall remember when we used to get actual checks in the mail? those were the days 👴

Has anyone tried tweeting at EDD? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈

Anyone else think its weird that they use Bank of America for this? Like, couldn't they use a better bank or something?

Guys I'm freaking out. My card finally came but it has zero balance??? Anyone else deal with this??

I found a way to actually 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. (https://claimyr.com

I'm in the same boat, buddy. This whole process is so frustrating. Feels like we're just numbers to them, not people who need help. 😞

Plot twist: the card never comes and we all just slowly go insane waiting for it 🤪

When you apply for unemployment benefits, the EDD Money Network card is typically sent out 7-10 business days after your claim is approved. However, due to high demand or postal delays, this time frame can sometimes extend to 3 weeks or more. It's essential to ensure your address is updated in your EDD account to avoid any delays. If you haven't received your card within this period, contacting the Bank of America's EDD Debit Card Customer Service is advisable. For faster resolution, tools like Claimyr are available, which help skip the long EDD phone queues for a fee. While Claimyr has been reported as effective by some users, remember that persistence and patience are key. Also, once you receive your card, setting up direct deposit can prevent future delays. This way, funds are electronically transferred to your bank account directly, bypassing the mail system. While Claimyr offers a valuable service, depending on your situation, this fee might not be justifiable, and you can still opt to reach out through other means, keeping consistent with your inquiries.

I swear EDD is running on Windows 95 or something. How is it this slow in 2023? 🤦‍♂️

Ugh, the waiting game is the worst. I swear EDD moves at a snail's pace. 🐌 I had to wait almost 3 weeks for mine.

Pro tip: set up direct deposit as soon as you get your card. Way faster and safer than relying on snail mail every week.

Guys, I think I found a hack. If you call the Bank of America EDD line instead of the regular EDD number, the wait times are way shorter. They can at least tell you if your card has been mailed out.

I got mine about 2 weeks after I was approved for benefits. But I've heard it can take up to a month for some people. Hang in there!

I'm in the same situation! Been waiting about 2 weeks now since my claim was approved. The uncertainty is the worst part - like, did they actually mail it or is it just sitting in some processing center? I've been checking the mailbox obsessively too. Really hoping it shows up soon because I have rent due next week. Thanks for posting this question, at least now I know I'm not alone in this waiting game!

I'm currently waiting for mine too - it's been about 12 days since my claim was approved. From what I've gathered reading through everyone's experiences here, it seems like the timeline is pretty inconsistent. Some people get it in 7-10 days, others are waiting 3+ weeks. I called the Bank of America EDD line (thanks @Charlee Coleman for that tip!) and they confirmed my card was mailed out 3 days ago, so at least I know it's on its way. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking when you're counting on those funds. Fingers crossed we all get our cards soon! 🤞

Mine took exactly 8 business days to arrive after my claim was approved. I was checking the mail like crazy every day too! One thing that helped was creating an account on the USPS website to track mail coming to my address - you can see when important mail is being delivered. Also, make sure your address is exactly correct in your EDD account because even small differences can cause delays. The waiting is super stressful when you're depending on those funds, but it will come! In the meantime, you might want to call that Bank of America number someone mentioned to at least confirm it's been sent out.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My claim was approved about 10 days ago and I'm still waiting for the card to show up. The not knowing is driving me crazy - I keep refreshing my EDD account hoping for some kind of update or tracking info. I'm going to try calling that Bank of America number someone mentioned (1-866-692-9374) to at least confirm they've sent it out. It's wild how much this varies for different people - some get it in a week, others are waiting over a month. Really hoping mine shows up in the next few days because I've got bills piling up. Thanks for starting this thread, it's actually really comforting to know so many of us are in the same boat!

I'm currently on day 9 since my claim was approved and still no card in sight! Reading through everyone's experiences here is both reassuring and nerve-wracking - it's good to know I'm not alone, but scary to see some people waiting over a month. I just called the Bank of America EDD line (1-866-692-9374) that @Charlee Coleman mentioned and they confirmed my card was mailed 4 days ago, so at least it's in transit. Also signed up for USPS Informed Delivery like @Max Knight suggested - wish I had known about that sooner! The waiting game is brutal when you have rent and bills due. Fingers crossed it shows up in the next few days. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and tips - this community has been a lifesaver! 🙏

I've been waiting 13 days since my claim was approved and still nothing! This thread has been so helpful though - I had no idea about calling the Bank of America line directly or setting up USPS Informed Delivery. Just called 1-866-692-9374 and they confirmed my card was mailed out 5 days ago, so hopefully it'll arrive this week. It's crazy how much the timeline varies for everyone - some get it in a week, others wait over a month. The anxiety of not knowing when it's coming while bills are piling up is honestly the worst part. At least now I have some concrete info and better tracking tools. Thanks to everyone sharing their experiences and tips - makes this whole waiting game a little more bearable! 🙏

I'm in the exact same situation! Been waiting 11 days since my claim was approved and checking the mailbox multiple times a day like it's going to magically make it arrive faster 😅 This thread has been incredibly helpful though - I had no idea about calling Bank of America directly or the USPS Informed Delivery service. Just called 1-866-692-9374 and they confirmed my card was mailed out 3 days ago, which is such a relief to at least know it's actually on its way. The uncertainty is honestly the hardest part when you're depending on those funds for rent and groceries. It's crazy how much the timeline varies - some people get lucky with 7-10 days while others are waiting weeks. Thanks to everyone sharing their experiences and tips, especially about the BoA number and USPS tracking. Makes this whole waiting game feel less isolating when you realize so many of us are going through the same thing! 🤞

I'm on day 6 since my claim was approved and already getting anxious about when my card will arrive! Reading through everyone's experiences here has been both comforting and nerve-wracking - it's great to know I'm not alone, but seeing people wait over a month is scary. I'm definitely going to try calling that Bank of America number (1-866-692-9374) that @Charlee Coleman shared to at least confirm mine has been mailed out. Also signing up for USPS Informed Delivery right now after seeing so many people recommend it. Thanks to everyone for sharing their timelines and tips - this community is seriously helping me stay sane during this waiting period! Hopefully mine shows up in the next week or so 🤞

I'm currently on day 15 since my claim was approved and still waiting! This thread has been a lifesaver - I had no idea there were so many helpful tricks like calling the Bank of America line directly. Just tried 1-866-692-9374 and they told me my card was actually mailed out 8 days ago, which is such a huge relief to at least know it's in transit. Also just set up USPS Informed Delivery after seeing everyone recommend it here. It's crazy how much the timeline varies for different people, but knowing I'm not alone in this waiting game really helps with the anxiety. Bills are definitely piling up but at least now I have better ways to track things. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences and all the practical tips! 🙏
