DEBIT CARD PROCEDURES
If you have been issued a debit card and it
has not expired, this will be the same card for
receiving your UI benefits.
If you have been issued a debit card within the
past three years and it has been lost, stolen,
or damaged, contact the following number to
request a replacement: 1-866-461-4095. Fees do
apply: $5.00 for normal delivery and the current
$21.00 fee for expedited delivery.
The debit card for UI looks exactly like the debit
card for child support. The only difference is the card for UI has a U printed on the front of the card
on the bottom left. This is how to distinguish the two cards. Funds for UI will not go onto the child
support card.
For a complete list of fees for the debit card, visit https://www.eppicard.com/ and select MS from
the drop down menu. Once you select MS, you will be able to access documents, including the
complete list of fees and disclosure statement.
