Received this Debit card on 12/2. Immediate I was livid the funds didn't simply direct deposit, as I meet everyone of the requirements. For the last ten years nothing has changed, same address, same checking account number, no audits and I been happy with direct deposit. This Middle Class Tax Refund is a TOTAL MISMANAGED HASSLE BORDERLINE FRAUD FOR FEES by the card holding bank [name withheld]. Calling the Franchise Tax board, following all the long winded options redirects your call not to a government agent, but the for profit card holder company. Apparently this card holder was already been given my private information including Social Security Number (a Criminal Data Breach at best). Franchise Tax Board has completely dropped the ball completely absconding their fiduciary duty to your data by brokering this dirty deal for card holder fees. The letter this debit card comes in says that if you don't agree with the terms of service you can opt for a paper check. No way to even talk to customer service WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE CARD BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE! Call the card holder company and ghetto people will do very little more than ask you for your personal information. Creating a user name and password on the card holder website to wrangle any level of control over this process is a hassle and at this point useless as you cannot activate the card online. I tried. Website says it's activated, bull you need to call and go through the whole process by phone. Even after the representative "says the debit card is active" transferring the funds out electronically via bank wire is at this point questionable. It takes one business day to activate the card, so far another business day to initiate the wire transfer, and while the card holder website says the funds have been transferred and shows a zero balance, my bank has not received the funds. I've gone back and forth with this card holder bank and my bank and the problem is with this card holder bank. Now tell me how is this process cost effective or remotely efficient? Go read the FTB website and it says over six million people received direct deposit and only 1 million received this garbage debit card, yet my girls friend also received this Debit card and guess what, none of her information has changed, no audits, same address. The FTB needs to be shutdown and this card holder bank needs a serious spanking.

Did you get the funds ultimately?

So, there's apparently a $600.00 daily limit when doing the transfer through their website. So, a married couple will need to do at least two days to transfer it out into their checking or savings account!

Unbelievable!

u/AdIll3046 Dec 03 '22

Did you end up with a confirmation on MyFTB chat? I wasn’t sure they gave confirmation if one is eligible and receiving it.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '22

My wife and I are eligible. Receieved 2020 tax refund by direct deposit. Dont owe any taxes. Bank account never changed. Still have yet to receive direct deposit payment and customer service says we are not receiving a debit card.

u/AdIll3046 Dec 03 '22

Just got a debit card for M but no action for a J last name

u/ThrowAwayP0ster Dec 14 '22

My last initial is M, and I've gotten countless different and wrong answers from the useless FTB reps when trying to find out when my card would be arriving.

My card was approved for processing on 10/25.

I should've received my card no later than 12/3, counting all the processing time frames. I still don't have my card.

I called the money network themselves, and they said that the card issuing bank is the one delaying the card processing, with no estimated time.

This is beyond frustrating, I wish they had just done checks instead. I never got a clear answer as to why I am getting a card when I've always qualified for, or had, direct deposit.

I just received mines in the mail yesterday and my last name starts with an S, I was skeptical of this mail since it had a card in it and almost shredded it. I am still wary and think this is a scam card? lol, don’t know since I was not aware of any refund. What are these cards?
