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.
For more information, watch The EDD is Transitioning to New Debit Cards (YouTube).
Important: If you still have a Bank of America debit card with EDD benefits, you’ll need to contact Bank of America at 1-866-692-9374 to request a check for the remaining funds on that card.
