APPLYING for a IDES PREPAID Debit card

Terry Says

Sorry but the Illinois Department of Employment Security no longer issues prepaid debit cards (too much fraud!)
Here’s what they say:
As of December 27, 2021, IDES has stopped sending payments via KeyBank debit cards to unemployment insurance claimants.
All claimants are encouraged to select direct deposit as their payment method.
Claimants who don’t select direct deposit as their payment method will receive their benefits by paper check delivered by the United States Postal Service.
