EDD Money Network debit card delay - approved benefits but no card after 3 weeks

my card took nearly 4 wks to show up last yr... EDD payment system is so messed up! they say 7-10 business days but thats total BS honestly

According to the EDD website, Money Network typically mails the debit card 7-10 business days after your first payment is issued. However, with current mail delays and processing times, many people (myself included) have experienced longer waits. Here's what I recommend: 1. Double-check your address is correct in UI Online 2. Call Money Network directly at 1-866-692-9374 (much easier to get through than EDD) and ask about your card status 3. If it's been more than 10 business days, you can request a replacement through Money Network You might also consider setting up direct deposit for future payments once you access your account. That way you won't have to worry about card delays in the future.

I had this EXACT problem last month!! So frustrating when you can see the money is there but you cant access it!!! I finally got through to an EDD rep who told me my card had been returned to them because my apartment number was missing on the address. Check your UI Online profile super carefully - even tiny address errors can cause this. I had to update my address and request a new card. Took another 2 weeks after that 😠

I've helped several people with this issue. First, don't panic - your funds don't expire. They'll stay in your account until you access them. Here's what you need to know: - Money Network can tell you if a card was mailed and when - If you request a replacement, the original card will be deactivated - The replacement process takes 7-10 business days (realistically more like 2 weeks) - You can request expedited shipping for an additional fee Also, once you do get your card, immediately set up the Money Network mobile app. It's much easier to track your payments that way, and you can transfer funds to your bank account without waiting for the physical card for future payments.

I had 2 wait almost 6 WEEKS 4 my card last year!!! The EDD is seriously the worst. Half the time the reps dont even kno whats going on either. Good luck getting someone on the phone lol

Have you tried using Claimyr to reach an EDD rep? I was in a similar situation and couldn't get through to anyone for days. My friend recommended Claimyr (claimyr.com) and I got connected to a rep within 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The EDD rep I spoke with was able to see that my card had been mailed but was stuck in processing. They expedited a new card for me and I had it within 3 days. Definitely worth it when you're waiting on money you need for bills.

did u check ur junk mail??? sometimes the envelope looks like spam!!! my roommate almost threw hers away cuz it doesnt say EDD anywhere on the outside!!! its just a plain white envelope from "Money Network" which sounds fake if u dont know what ur looking for

Just following up - were you able to contact Money Network? One other thing to know is that sometimes they send the card from a facility in South Dakota, so the postmark might not be from California. This confuses some people who are expecting California mail.

after i had my issues with the card I switched to direct deposit for all future payments!! SOO much better, the money shows up in my account 1-2 days after certification. Highly recommend doing this as soon as you get access to your account!!
