Bank of America EDD Debit Card Login : How do I use my EDD Debit Card?

The EDD issues benefit payments for Disability Insurance, Paid Family Leave, and Unemployment Insurance claims using a visa debit card. This prepaid debit card is a fast, convenient, and secure way to get your benefit payments and is not subject to a credit check or monitoring by the EDD. With the debit card you can:

  • Get your money sooner.
  • Use it everywhere VISA is accepted (in stores, online, and by phone).
  • Withdraw cash at ATMs, banks, and stores with cash back options.
  • Transfer funds to the financial institution of your choice at no additional cost.
  • Be notified when a deposit is made to your card or when you have a low balance.
  • Receive fraud protection from a Zero Liability Policy.
