The Oklahoma Debit Card. The Oklahoma Employment Security
Commission (OESC) has implemented a new "all electronic" payment program
for receiving your payments by using either a new prepaid debit card called the
Oklahoma Debit MasterCard® Card or direct deposit. If you wish to receive your
payments by direct deposit, or you were previously enrolled in direct deposit
and need to make changes, follow the direct deposit "Next Steps" instructions
on the front side of this document. If you wish to receive your funds on the new
debit MasterCard® card you do not need to do anything except validate your
address. If you take no action, you will automatically be enrolled to receive a
new debit card unless you were previously enrolled in direct deposit. To help
you better understand the new Oklahoma Debit MasterCard®, we have included
the most frequently asked questions about the new program below.

Do I have a choice in how I get my payments?
Yes, there are two options. You may use direct deposit, or you may select
the Oklahoma Debit MasterCard. If you already have a bank account, your
payments can be deposited into your account using Direct Deposit. Call the
Customer Service number and they will mail to you the Direct Deposit
enrollment form. You must sign and mail the form back, before deposits will
be sent to your bank account. You can find the direct deposit form at
www.eppicard.com or if you do not have internet access, you can call 1-888-
401-9843. If we do not receive your direct deposit information before your
first deposit, you will automatically receive a debit MasterCard.

current address, validate the address the Agency has on file. To update your
mailing address, call the customer service number, 1-888-401-9843, and

debit card, you will automatically receive electronic notification each time a
deposit is posted to your account. You may choose the preferred option
either by the IVR or accessing your account online via the web.
