No Money Network debit card yet - will I get paid next week?

SAME EXACT PROBLEM!!! Been trying for 3 days now to reach someone at Money Network. The EDD website says our payments will still be processed but will sit in limbo until we activate the new cards. So frustrating that they switched payment systems with ZERO proper planning. I finally got through to EDD yesterday after calling literally 57 times (I counted) and they just said "we don't handle the debit cards, you have to contact Money Network" - USELESS!!!

dont worry too much. the payments will still go into ur account, you just cant access them till u get & activate the new card. EDD is still processing claims as normal, its just the access part thats the issue. not ideal but at least the money will be there when u finally get the stupid card.

I was in the exact same situation last month. The key thing to understand is that your payments will still be processed and approved - they'll just be sitting in your Money Network account waiting for you to activate your card. Here's what helped me finally reach Money Network: 1. Call early morning (right when they open at 8am PST) 2. Use option 4 for "lost or stolen card" even though you never received one 3. When prompted for card number, don't enter anything and it will eventually transfer you For EDD, if you need to speak to a representative to confirm your claim is still active and being processed, try Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have a service that helps you get through to EDD much faster. Their video shows the process: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. I was skeptical but they got me through when I couldn't reach anyone for weeks. Good luck!

i had to wait almost a month for my money network card lol... edd is so incompetent its unreal. the whole system is designed to make it hard for us to get our benefits. my theory is they hope people just give up trying.

I work in HR and have been helping several employees with this exact issue. Here's accurate information: 1. Money Network cards are being mailed in batches based on the last 2 digits of your SSN, so some claimants are receiving cards later than others. 2. Your funds ARE secure - payments will be deposited into your Money Network account even if you don't have physical access to the card yet. 3. For those with urgent needs, you CAN request expedited shipping for your card by calling Money Network at 1-800-240-0223 and using option 4, then when prompted for a card number, press # twice. 4. Direct deposit is still an option! Log into UI Online and update your payment preference to direct deposit with your bank account information to bypass the card entirely. 5. Money Network customer service hours are 8am-9pm PST, with lowest call volumes typically before 9am and after 7pm. Hope this helps!

I just got my Money Network card yesterday after waiting 3 weeks. The tracking number they gave me never worked, and the estimated delivery date was completely wrong. But when it finally did arrive, activation was simple and all my pending payments were available immediately. One thing that helped me was downloading the Money Network mobile app. Once you create an account there (even before you have the card), you can see if there are any payments waiting for you. That gave me peace of mind while waiting for the actual card to arrive.

i switched to direct deposit as soon as they announced the money network change. best decision ever. takes like 2 days after certification to hit my bank account. no more card drama

Just checking back - were you able to get through using any of the suggestions here? The Money Network transition has been a nightmare for so many people, but eventually things do get resolved.
