New: Changes to Your Debit Card

We have changed the bank we use to issue your debit cards. As of February 15, 2024, benefits are no longer issued to a Bank of America debit card. Instead, they are now issued to a new Money Network prepaid debit card

Important:  If you still have a Bank of America debit card for your EDD benefits, it will only be active until April 15, 2024.

For more information, watch The EDD is Transitioning to New Debit Cards (YouTube).

If You Received Payments by Debit Card January 15February 14, 2024:

Your payments were issued to your Bank of America prepaid debit card. We also mailed you a new Money Network Card (with no money on it yet) for future benefit payments. Your new Money Network Card should arrive in 14 business days. For example, if you qualified for a payment on February 5, allow until February 23 to receive that new Money Network Card. It will be in a plain, white, letter-sized envelope from the Employment Development Department with an Omaha, Nebraska (NE) return address.

If you don’t receive your card, contact Money Network at 1-800-684-7051.

Look Out for Scammers

We will never request your personal information by text message, email, or on social media. Text messages asking you to activate a debit card by selecting a link are scams. EDD text messages only link to websites that include “edd.ca.gov”. Visit Help Fight Fraud for tips on how to avoid scams.

Replacements for lost, stolen, or damaged cards will be delivered in 7 to 10 business days from the date you order it. Once you order it, do not request a second one. Ordering a second card will permanently block the first one, and may cause a delay in getting your money.

Note: Bank of America representatives cannot answer questions about your claim or pending payments.

No Card Activity within the Last 90 Days and Balance Less Than $20

If you did not have any activity on the card within the last 90 days, or if you have a balance of less than $20, contact Bank of America debit card customer service to request a new card. You can check your remaining balance by calling one of the telephone numbers listed in the Customer Service Help section of this page.

If you no longer want to use your card, contact Bank of America to get any remaining monies, and then destroy your card.
