How do I transfer money to my RCU account using my California EDD Debit Card for Disability Insurance, Paid Family Leave, and Unemployment Insurance claims?
The EDD (Employment Development Department) issues benefit payments for disability insurance, paid family leave, and unemployment Insurance claims using the EDD Visa debit card. Once your first benefit payment is issued, Bank of America will mail your card and additional information within five days. If you have a debit card from a previous EDD claim that is still active, you will not have to wait for a new card. You will have immediate access to your first benefit payment on your existing card.You can transfer funds to the financial institution of your choice at no additional cost. Below we have listed some helpful information about how to setup your RCU account as a direct deposit transfer account.
