EDD keeps sending email statements - does it mean money on my debit card?

Those statements are just automatic notifications from the EDD system. I got them for like 6 months after my claim ended. They don't necessarily mean you have money waiting - it just shows your account activity (which is probably zero). You can always check your Money Network card balance directly through the Money Network app or website if you're curious. Or log back into UI Online and check your claim balance. But yeah, it's just their system being slow to realize you're done with unemployment.

me 2!! geting those emails forever even tho i havent filed in like 5 months lol. EDD systems r weird

This is actually pretty common. The email notifications are part of EDD's automated system and continue until your benefit year officially ends. Your benefit year lasts for 12 months from when you first filed, even if you stop certifying or get a job before that. Two things you should do: 1. Log into UI Online and check your claim status/balance 2. Check your Money Network card balance if you have one If you had any outstanding weeks that were paid after you stopped checking, there might actually be funds on your card. But it's more likely just the system running its course until your benefit year expires. BTW, if you ever need to contact EDD about this or anything else, try Claimyr (claimyr.com). They've got a service that helps you get through to an EDD rep without the endless busy signals. There's a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km - saved me hours of frustration when I had a similar issue last month.

I had this happen too and ignored the emails for months. Turned out I actually DID have money on my card! One payment went through after I stopped certifying because of some adjustment they made. Check your card!

The email statements are automatically generated for all claimants with an active benefit year. Your benefit year remains active for 12 months from your initial filing date, regardless of whether you're still certifying or receiving benefits. These statements serve several purposes: 1. Showing account activity (payments, certifications, adjustments) 2. Maintaining a record of your claim status 3. Providing notification of any balance changes While most often there's no money waiting when you've stopped certifying, there are exceptions: - Retroactive adjustments to previous payments - Appeal decisions that resulted in payment - Benefit audits that found underpayment I recommend checking both your UI Online account and Money Network card balance. In UI Online, go to "Claim History" to see your most recent activity. For the Money Network card, either use their app, website, or call the number on the back of your card. If you do find funds, they remain accessible until the card's expiration date, which is typically 3 years from issuance.

Be careful with this! my friend kept getting statements and ignored them for months and it turned out EDD had made an error and was saying she was overpaid by like $3000! She didn't see the overpayment notices buried in all those regular statements and almost ended up with a collections action. You should definitely log in and check what those statements actually say!

Just an update - I logged into UI Online and checked my Money Network card. Turns out there WAS money on there! EDD had processed an adjustment for one of my earlier weeks where I reported partial earnings. They recalculated and added about $175 to my card that I never knew about. So thanks everyone for encouraging me to actually check instead of just ignoring those emails!

Wow, this thread is so helpful! I'm in a similar situation where I've been getting these statements for months after stopping my claim. Reading about everyone finding money they didn't know about has me nervous that I might have missed something important. Definitely going to check my UI Online and Money Network card today. It's crazy how EDD's system works - you'd think they'd send a specific notification when they make adjustments or add funds instead of burying it in regular statements. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, especially about the potential overpayment issues. Better safe than sorry!
