We
encourage claimants to opt for either the direct deposit or
debit card payment methods that are approved by the State of
Connecticut and the Labor Department. We are not
associated or affiliated with check cashing services, or any
pre-paid debit card services.

Direct Deposit is safer.

Direct Deposit is free. There is no fee for using the
electronic transfer system.

list of Connecticut bank and credit union locations can be
found at the
Department of Banking Internet site.
Several Connecticut banks and credit unions may offer
no-cost checking.
