EDD Money Network card withdrawal locations - ATM fees & limits?

You can withdraw money from your Money Network card at several places without fees:\n\n1. Bank of America ATMs (completely fee-free)\n2. Any ATM with the Allpoint or MoneyPass logo (also fee-free)\n3. Cash back at most grocery stores or pharmacies when making a purchase\n4. Inside any bank that displays the Visa logo (this is called a \

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. I didn't realize I could get cash back at stores - that'll be way more convenient than finding an ATM. And good to know about the $1000 limit. Do you know if there's a fee for checking my balance at ATMs? The paperwork is so confusing.

DONT USE WELLS FARGO ATMS!!!! They charged me $3.50 fee even though the EDD website said all atms work!! Total BS. And some gas station ATMs charged me $4.95!!! Make sure u only use bank of america or the other ones that person mentioned above. And yeah the cash back at walmart or grocery stores works great no fees

yup happen to me to at 7-11 atm. $6 fee! ridiculous. i just do cash back at target now when i buy stuff

I've been using my Money Network card for about 3 months now. Here's my experience:\n\n- The easiest option is using the Bank of America ATMs. I've never been charged a fee.\n- You can check your balance for FREE using the Money Network mobile app or website - NEVER check it at ATMs as they usually charge $0.50-$1.00 per balance inquiry.\n- The daily ATM limit is $1,000 but there's also a transaction limit of $500 per withdrawal at most ATMs. So you might need to do two transactions to get your full $500.\n- For your landlord situation, you can also use the Money Network check feature if you set it up. They give you blank checks you can fill out yourself.\n\nOne last tip: keep your receipts! I had a failed transaction once where the ATM didn't give me cash but debited my account. Took 10 business days to get the money back.

Good call on the receipts - I wouldn't have thought of that. I didn't know about the Money Network checks either, might look into that as a backup option. Do you know if there are fees for direct deposits from the card to my regular bank account? Might be easier to just transfer money directly.

U kno u can also just buy a money order at the post office with that card? Thats what i always do for my rent. costs like $1.25 for a money order up to $500 and my landlord prefers that anyway

That's a good alternative, but just to clarify - the Money Network card does have a purchase fee for money orders at some locations. Post Office is usually fine, but places like Western Union might charge extra fees when using the unemployment debit card specifically. Always good to ask before processing the transaction.

When I first got my EDD card, I struggled for days trying to contact someone at EDD about withdrawal questions. Kept getting disconnected or the \

does this actually work? ive been trying to call EDD about my card for 2 weeks now... never heard of this service before

Yes, it definitely worked for me! I was super skeptical too but was desperate after trying for days. They don't answer the questions themselves - they just get you connected to an actual EDD rep who can help with your specific card issues.

Update: I was able to withdraw $500 from a Bank of America ATM today with no problems! Had to do it as two separate $250 transactions because of the ATM's limit (not the card's limit). Also downloaded the Money Network app which is actually pretty useful - shows my balance and all nearby free ATMs. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great to hear! Just FYI - you can also set up direct deposit to transfer funds from your Money Network card to your personal bank account. In the app, go to Account > Direct Deposit and follow the steps. Takes 2-3 business days for transfers to complete.

Just set it up! This will be so much easier than dealing with cash. Appreciate all your help!

tbh i hate these stupid cards... why cant EDD just direct deposit to our normal bank accounts like a normal employer would????? i lost my card last month and waiting for a replacement was a NIGHTMARE

You actually CAN set up direct deposit to your regular bank account. Go to the UI Online portal, select
