Receive Your Benefit Payments 
It takes at least three weeks to process a claim for unemployment benefits and issue payment to most 
eligible workers. 
When your first benefit payment is available, you will receive a debit card in the mail. Once you activate 
t he card you can track, use, and transfer your benefit payments. Your card is valid for three years from 
the date it is issued and is used for all EDD benefit programs, so you should keep it until it expires. 
If you received Unemployment Insurance, Disability Insurance, or Paid Family Leave benefits on a debit 
card in the last three years, you will 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. 
Note: If you were issued a debit card before 2015, you must request a new one. Visit Replace My_Card on 
Bank of America's website or contact Bank of America at 1-866-692-9374 {TTY: 1-866-656-5913). 
If you lost your debit card, contact Bank of America as early as possible in the application process to 
request a replacement card before your first payment. Your new card will arrive 7 to 10 business days 
from the order date. You have a couple options to request a new card: 
• Visit Replace my Card on the Bank of America website. 
• Contact Bank of America at l-866-692-9374 {TTY: 1-866-656-5913). You do not need to have your 
old card number or speak to a representative. Choose the Lost or Stolen option in the automated 
menu. The call center is experiencing higher than normal wait times and Bank of America is 
working to address the issue. 
Note: Bank of America representatives cannot answer questions about your claim or pending 
payments. 
Payment information is updated daily and is available through your .\.!!.9.n!l!!~ account or by calling the 
UI Self-Service Phone Line at l -866-333--4606. 
For more information on the benefits of using your debit card, delivery, activation, tracking payments, 
expired cards, and more, visit .l?.1!.~itf,.~-~9.-
