What is the EDD Debit Card?
The Employment Development Department (EDD) Debit Card is a new and more efficient way of delivering California Unemployment Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Paid Family Leave benefit payments. A Visa® EDD Debit Card is automatically mailed to claimants who are determined eligible for benefits. The EDD, with Bank of America, will provide you with an EDD Debit Card that is valid for three years from the date of issue. Benefit payments for which you are eligible will be deposited to your debit card account. You will have access to your funds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. Direct deposit transfers to a checking or savings account are available, as well as cash access through tellers at any Visa bank or credit union.
