EDD says payment issued but Money Network card not showing funds after 5 days - normal delay?

its probably cuz hes using the old card they might be sending him a new one. check your mail or just call edd directly

This is actually fairly common right now. There's been a processing delay between EDD showing 'paid' status and the funds actually being loaded onto Money Network cards. If he's using the same card from last year (within 3 years), he shouldn't need a new one. Here's what you should check: 1. Verify his address is correct in UI Online 2. Make sure the Money Network account is still active (cards can deactivate after long periods of non-use) 3. Check if his payment method accidentally switched to direct deposit If it's been more than 7 business days since the 'paid' status appeared, you should definitely contact EDD.

I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM last month!!! Called EDD for THREE WEEKS straight and could never get through. The website kept saying PAID but my card showed ZERO! Turns out they were sending me a new card even though my old one wasn't expired! The system is completely broken and nobody tells you anything. Check your mail because they probably sent a new one without telling you and the old card won't get the new payments!!

I had trouble reaching EDD when I had a similar issue with delayed payments. I started using Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it helped me get through to an actual EDD representative in about 20 minutes instead of spending days trying. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The agent explained that sometimes there's a hold on the first payment of a new benefit year even when the system shows "paid" - especially if you're using a card from a previous claim. They released my payment while I was on the phone with them.

Yes, it absolutely worked for me. The representative I spoke with confirmed that there's often a security verification that happens with the first payment of a new benefit year, especially when using an existing Money Network card. They have to match your previous claim information with the new claim, and sometimes it gets flagged for manual review.

Have you guys logged into the actual Money Network website (not just UI Online)? Sometimes the card balance doesn't update in the automated system but does show in the web portal. Also make sure your husband's UI Online account payment method is still set to the debit card and not accidentally switched to direct deposit. I've been on unemployment 3 times in the past 4 years and sometimes the settings mysteriously change between claims.

My situation was similar but different. Got approved, showed paid, but nothing on card. Turns out my benefits were being offset for an overpayment from 2022 that I didn't even know about! Check if there are any notices in your UI Online inbox about overpayments or penalties. Sometimes they take money from new claims to pay old debts.

I'd recommend trying to contact EDD directly first. If your husband's previous claim ended more than a year ago, they might have automatically issued a new card, which can take 7-10 business days to arrive. Another possibility is that the payment is being held pending a quarterly wage review, which happens automatically at the beginning of new quarters. If you absolutely can't get through using the regular phone numbers after several attempts, then services like Claimyr can help, but try these steps first: 1. Call right when they open at 8:00 AM 2. Try the technical support line instead of the main line 3. Check if there's a message about the payment in your UI Online inbox 4. Verify the payment method is set to EDD Debit Card in the UI Online profile section

Update: I contacted EDD using Claimyr and got through in about 15 minutes. The representative explained that there was indeed a hold on the first payment of my new claim because I was using my card from last year. Apparently, they need to verify everything matches up between the old and new claim. The rep released the payment while I was on the phone, and the money showed up on my card about 24 hours later. Worth the time saved from trying to call repeatedly!
