Existing Cardholders

Your card is valid for three years from the date it is issued and is used for all EDD benefit programs. You will not have to wait for a new card. We will continue to load funds on your existing card and you will have immediate access to them.

If you lost your debit card, you must request a replacement card early in the application process before your first payment. Call Bank of America at 1-866-692-9374 (TTY: 1-866-656-5913) and choose the Lost or Stolen option in the automated menu. You do not need to have your old card number or speak to a representative. Your new card will arrive 7 to 10 business days from the order date.

Note: Bank of America representatives cannot answer questions about your claim or pending payments.

Expired Cards

If your card has expired and there was activity on it within the last 90 days, or if there is a balance of $20 or more, Bank of America will automatically mail you a new card before your card expires.

No Card Activity within the Last 90 Days

If you did not have any activity on the card within the last 90 days, or if you have a balance of less than $20, contact Bank of America debit card customer service to access your funds.
