Important Debit Card Information The
Connecticut Department of Labor is changing
its debit card program from Chase Bank to
KeyBank in May 2017.
If you are currently receiving benefits
during this changeover, a new Key2Benefits
debit card will be mailed to you during the
month of May. An image of the new card is
shown below. Once the Key2Benefits debit
card has been issued, any Unemployment
Insurance (UI) benefit payments to which you
are entitled will be made to the
Key2Benefits debit card. Although you should
continue to use your Chase Visa debit card
until the balance is gone, no further
benefits will be made to the Chase Visa
debit card once the change has been
completed.
The CT Department of Labor has a paperless
system for paying Unemployment Benefits. We
encourage claimants to opt for either the
direct deposit card or debit card payment
methods that are approved by the State of
Connecticut and the Labor
Department. Electronic payments will either
be made to your bank or credit union account
for direct deposit, or loaded onto your
debit card. We are not associated or
affiliated with check cashing services. |
