EDD switched to Money Network but my payment stuck in pending since March 15th - still no card?

I finally got my Money Network card last week after waiting almost a month! The transition from BofA has been a disaster. My first payment after the switch also got stuck in pending for about 10 days before it finally showed up as paid. Once your payment switches from pending to paid in UI Online, it takes another 2-3 days to actually load onto the card. And then you have to activate it on their website and set up a PIN. The whole process is ridiculous.

mine took 3 weeks to come in mail. but make sure ur address is correct in ur ui online account because they ship it to whatever is on file there, not what was with bofa

The pending payment and the card delay are actually two separate issues. Your payment being stuck in pending means EDD hasn't approved the payment yet - this has nothing to do with Money Network. You need to contact EDD directly about the pending payment. As for the card, once your payment switches from pending to paid, it takes 7-10 business days for the first Money Network card to arrive if you've never had one before. If you already had a payment go through after the February transition and still don't have a card, you should call Money Network directly at 1-888-928-2929. Double-check your UI Online account to make sure your mailing address is current for both EDD communications and payment methods.

Trying to reach EDD to resolve pending payments is nearly impossible these days... took me DAYS of calling last month for a similar issue. I ended up using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through - they have this service that gets you connected to an EDD agent without the endless redial nightmare. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km When I finally got through, the rep told me my payment was pending because they needed to verify some information about my last employer. Took about 5 minutes to clear up once I actually talked to someone. My Money Network card arrived about 8 days after the payment switched to paid.

Here's what you need to know about the Money Network transition: 1. Pending payments are handled by EDD, not Money Network. If your payment is stuck in pending for more than 3 business days, you need to contact EDD. 2. First-time Money Network cards are mailed 7-10 business days after your first payment is processed after the transition. 3. You can check if your payment has been issued to Money Network by looking at your UI Online payment history. If it shows "paid" but you don't have a card yet, the issue is with card delivery. 4. Money Network cards are mailed from their processing center in Indiana, so delivery can take longer than expected. 5. Once you receive your card, you must activate it at moneynetwork.com/edd or by calling the number on the card. If your payment is still pending, I recommend contacting EDD directly to find out why. Common reasons include identity verification issues, quarterly wage reviews, or work search activity verification.

anybody know if u can set up direct deposit with money network instead of using their card? the BofA card was bad enough but at least i could transfer to my bank account for free

Just following up on this thread - did your payment ever switch from pending to paid? And did you get your Money Network card yet? I'm curious because my roommate is going through the exact same issue right now.
