The Employment Development Department (EDD) of California has announced that Bank of America debit cards issued to recipients will stay active until April 15th. This came after the EDD issued new debit cards through Money Network in response to an increase in debit card scams during the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 850,000 beneficiaries in California have been informed about the availability of the new Money Network Cards.

Beneficiaries who are still using their EDD Bank of America debit cards have until April 15th to do so before the cards become inactive. Those who were anticipating receiving EDD payments via debit card between January 15th and February 14th should have received their new Money Network Cards by now.

In the event that you did not receive your card, you are advised to contact Money Network directly at 1-800-684-7051.

For those who need additional assistance or have specific questions about their employment benefits, knowing how to contact EDD can be crucial. There are numerous ways to reach out to the EDD, including through the agency’s phone number, email, or online portals. You can also reach a live person at EDD California through eddcaller.com, a service which connects beneficiaries with EDD customer service representatives.
