Money Network card frozen - will EDD payments still deposit after Bank of America disabled transfers?

Don't panic! Your money will still go onto the card even if it's frozen. The freeze just prevents transactions FROM the card, not deposits TO the card. I had this same thing happen in January - someone hit my card at a gas station in San Diego (I live in Sacramento!). Called right away to freeze it and my next payment still deposited fine while I waited for a replacement card. Just make sure to request a replacement ASAP since it can take 7-10 business days to arrive.

ya its true BofA stopped the transfers to bank accounts for EDD cards!!! its so anoying. u gotta withdraw cash at ATM now or use the card for evrything. sux

I work with UI claims daily and can confirm what others have said. When your Money Network card is frozen for fraud protection, incoming deposits from EDD will still post to the account normally. The freeze only blocks outgoing transactions. Regarding transfers to your bank account: Money Network DID temporarily restrict this feature for some cardholders due to increased fraud activity, but it's not disabled for everyone. Here's what you should do: 1. Request a replacement card immediately (1-866-692-9374) 2. Continue certifying as normal 3. Once you receive your new card, activate it and set up a new PIN 4. Try the bank transfer feature through the Money Network mobile app (not the website) 5. If transfers are still blocked, call customer service and verify your identity If your rent is due soon and you're worried about timing, you can also request an emergency expedited card (2-3 business days) instead of the standard 7-10 days.

my sisters boy friend had the saem problem last month and he just went to the BoA branch and they gave him a new card right there same day!! try that

I've been on unemployment for 8 months and dealt with THREE fraudulent charges on my Money Network card. It's absolutely infuriating how poor their security is! Each time I had to wait 7-10 business days for a replacement, which is completely unacceptable when people rely on this money for basic necessities! And yes, they HAVE disabled transfers to bank accounts for many cardholders without any clear explanation. I spent 3 HOURS trying to reach someone at Money Network about this last week. Their customer service is a joke - just endless hold music and disconnections. EDD should be ashamed for partnering with such an incompetent financial service provider!

If you're struggling to get through to Money Network, I recently used a service called Claimyr that helped me get through to EDD when I had a similar fraud issue with my card. They basically hold your place in line and call you back when an agent is available. Saved me hours of frustration! Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km

To directly answer your question: Yes, your payment will still deposit to your frozen card. The card freeze only prevents withdrawals and purchases, not deposits. Regarding the bank transfers issue - this is a temporary security measure that Money Network implemented after a spike in fraud cases. It's not affecting all cardholders, but many have reported restrictions. If you need immediate access to your funds while waiting for a replacement card, you have a few options: 1. You can add your Money Network card to a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) and continue using it that way even while the physical card is frozen 2. You can authorize a one-time transfer by calling Money Network customer service and completing additional verification steps 3. Request a 'provisional credit' while they investigate the fraud, which may give you access to the funds that were fraudulently taken I recommend calling Money Network first thing in the morning (6:00 AM PT) when their call volume is lowest.

Just following up to share that I had this EXACT situation in April. Called for replacement card, money deposited fine while waiting. But heads up - any automatic payments you had set up on the old card will fail. You'll need to update those with the new card number when it arrives. The new card will have completely different numbers for security reasons.
