In order to receive Unemployment Insurance Benefits, you must select a method to receive your benefits payment.
There are two choices: Direct Deposit or Prepaid Debit Card.
Direct Deposit means your benefits will be deposited directly to your own existing bank account. Please be prepared to provide your bank account information during enrollment.
Prepaid Debit Card means you will receive your benefits on a debit card mailed to you by a third-party vendor. Prepaid Debit cards can be used at ATMs and merchants that accept prepaid debit cards for payment.
Federal Law requires that any fees related to using your prepaid debit card are disclosed to you before you select the prepaid debit card as the method to receive your benefits payment.
Be sure to review before selecting debit card.
