null How can I access my unemployment benefit funds through my debit card?

To access your funds, you can:

  • Make purchases through signature or PIN-based transactions
  • Get cash back at participating store point-of-sale locations
  • Funds from an in-network ATM, as identified by U.S. Bank
  • Transfer funds to your personal bank account through U.S. Bank
  • Obtain cash through bank tellers at any participating bank
Important Note Regarding ATM Withdrawals: There is a fee for out-of-network ATM withdrawals and international withdrawals.

It can take more than one week after processing the first payable week for you to receive your debit card. Choose direct deposit in payment options for quicker access to your first payment.
