- 1). Ask the caseworker in your state's unemployment office whether direct deposit is an option. Sign up for it. In general, you have to give the staff a blank, voided check and must sign a form authorizing the state to pay you electronically. The check has all the bank information necessary for your request to be processed. Ask the caseworker the date you should expect the state to start sending payments directly to your bank.
- 2). Log into your bank account if the institution offers the option and if you have a computer and internet access. If not, call your bank or stop by one of its branches. Depending on how you contact the bank, look at your current bank statement online or ask the staff to do so to verify the payment was deposited.
- 3). Contact the unemployment insurance office if the bank does not have a record of a deposit into your account. Find out by when the staff expects to resolve the error. Repeat step 2 after the deadline to verify the money is in the bank.
