EDD Money Network Card Delays - Anyone else still waiting after certification?

Same boat! Been waiting almost a month for my card. EDD says payments are issued but Money Network keeps saying "your card has been mailed" when I call their automated system. It's incredibly frustrating. I tried calling EDD but can't get through to ask if they can expedite it. Did they at least tell you when exactly they mailed yours?

my card took FOREVER to come!!! like almost 5 wks and then just showed up random day no warning. check ur informed delivery from usps if u have that setup maybe?? u can see whats coming b4 it arrives

I've helped several people through this situation. Here's what you need to know: 1. First cards can take 10-14 business days (not calendar days) 2. If it's been more than 14 business days, call Money Network directly at 1-866-320-8699 3. When prompted by the automated system, choose the option to report a lost/stolen card - this is the fastest way to get to a human 4. They can tell you exactly when it was mailed and even expedite a replacement (may cost $10) 5. Make sure your address is 100% correct in your EDD account Don't worry about certifying while waiting - your funds will accumulate and be available once you activate the card. You can also set up direct deposit once you get the card if you prefer that for future payments.

This happened to me back in January. Turns out my card got sent to my old address even though I updated my info with EDD. Double-check your contact info is current everywhere!!

I work in benefits assistance, and card delays are unfortunately common right now. The current average I'm seeing is 12-15 business days for first-time cards, with some taking up to 20 business days due to mail processing backlogs. A few important facts about Money Network cards: - Your funds are safe even if the card is delayed - they don't expire or get returned - Once you have the card, you can switch to direct deposit for faster future payments - You can request expedited delivery of a replacement card (usually $10 fee) - If your address has ANY errors (even a missing apartment number), it can cause major delays The best number to call for card status is directly to Money Network: 1-866-320-8699. Select options for card not received rather than general questions.

This is EXACTLY why I absolutely HATE the EDD system!!! They make everything so complicated and then don't communicate AT ALL. I had to wait 6 WEEKS for my card earlier this year while my bills piled up. Called 32 times in one day and never got through to anyone!!! And then they have the nerve to say "we're here to help" - YEAH RIGHT!!! This whole system is designed to make people give up. 😠😠😠

Have you tried Claimyr to get through to an EDD rep? I was in the exact same situation with my Money Network card taking forever, and I was going CRAZY trying to call. My roommate told me about Claimyr - it basically calls EDD for you and gets you in the queue, then calls you back when an agent is available. Totally worth it! I finally got to speak to someone who could tell me exactly what was going on with my card and when it was mailed. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km and their website is claimyr.com

anyone know if you can pick up the card in person somewhere? waiting for mail is killing me

Update on my situation: finally got through to Money Network and they said my card was returned as undeliverable even though my address is correct! They're sending a new one now. OP - definitely call them directly to check status.
