Learn about the U.S. Bank ReliaCard®, the DUA debit card

Find information about the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) ReliaCard® debit card and learn how you can use it to receive your Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits.

The DUA ReliaCard® is a safe and secure method of receiving your Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. You will receive benefits via the debit card unless you sign up for direct deposit to a checking or savings account. Keep in mind your first benefit payment will always be a paper check. For security, your debit card will be mailed to the address you have on file in an unmarked envelope.

The ReliaCard is issued by U.S. Bank National Association pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A Inc. © 2022 U.S. Bank. Member FDIC.
