Receive your benefits 
1. Look for your EDD Debit Card5M in the mail 
Benefit payments for Unemployment Insurance, Pandemic Unemployment 
Assistance (PUA), Disability Insurance, and Paid Family Leave are all made 
using the EDD Debit Card. 
Typically, it will take about a week after you certify before you receive your first 
benefit payment. If you applied for PUA, your EDD Debit Card will be issued 
within 24-48 hours after you submit your application. 
Note: Due to the high volume of claims, it may take a few extra days to 
receive your EDD Debit Card in the mail. 
To set up direct deposit transfer from your debit card to your bank account, 
visit the Bank of America EPP Pe bit Card website. 
For more information on the EDD Debit Card, visit EDD Debit Card.

receive your benefit payments on that card. If your card has expired, a 
new card will automatically be sent to you once funds are available.

656-5913) to request a new one.

order date.

2. Certify your claim every two weeks 
To continue receiving benefit payments, you'll need to certify your 
unemployment status every two weeks via UI Online for the fastest and most 
secure way to obtain benefits. 
What is certification? 
Certification is the required process of updating the EDD every two 
weeks with your unemployment status with basic eligibility information: 
• Are you physically able to work? 
• Are you available for work? 
• Are you ready and willing to accept work immediately? 
• Did you refuse work? 
• Did you work and earn wages? If so, how much? 
The fastest way to certify is on UI Online. You can also do this by phone 
by calling 1·866-333-4606, or by mailing the paper form. 
All claims from March 29 to July 25, 2020 will include an 
additional $600 every week 
We will automatically add $600 every week certified to eligible claimants from 
March 29 to July 25, 2020. These funds are part of the Federal Pandemic 
Unemployment Assistance (FPUC) program, also referred to as Pandemic 
Additional Compensation (PAC). 
UI benefit payments have been extended for COVID-19 
claims 
We normally provide up to 26 weeks of UI benefits to eligible claimants. Once 
we have implemented the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment 
Compensation program (PEUC). you may be eligible to extend your benefits for 
13 weeks, for a total of 39 weeks. 
We are still working to implement this program which will take effect 
retroactively to March 29, 2020. In the interim, individuals who have exhausted 
t heir benefits on their regular UI claim may be eligible to receive benefits on a 
PUA claim.
