EDD recipients have just two ways to access their benefits: a Bank of America debit card or paper checks. Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) said in an interview Tuesday that lawmakers who have asked for more information continue to be stonewalled by Bank of America. Pretium is far from alone in its activities, PESP's Baker said. In a statement, Bank of America said it is working every day with the state to prevent criminals from getting money and ensuring legitimate recipients receive their benefits.We have added thousands of agents to answer phone calls and investigate claims for the areas of the program we are responsible for, the statement continues. The banks exclusive contract to distribute and manage jobless benefits expires in July, though EDD could be hard-pressed to negotiate a contract with a new service provider in time if it decides to move on.
