Do I have to report to a DWD Career Center in person?
Yes, every four weeks. Unlike other states, Missouri requires you to report to a Career Center every four weeks unless you are specifically told this is not necessary. For instance, if you have a fixed date for returning to work or you are taking part in training program, you may not have to report in person. However, instead of viewing this as a burden, take advantage of the many services available to your when you visit a Career Center. Click here for contact details to your closest center.
How will my benefits be paid?
Gone were the days of paper checks in the mail. You can now choose to receive your unemployment benefits by two methods: Direct Deposit or a Missouri Access MasterCard.
The Direct Deposit method will send your payments directly to your current bank account. You just need to provide your bank account’s details and your payments will be deposited weekly. Click here to fill in a direct deposit application online.
Direct Debit Card. The default method for receiving your unemployment benefits is a Missouri Access MasterCard. If you do not provide details about your bank account within two weeks of filing your claim, you will be sent a debit card to access your funds. Notice you may be given a debit card even if you do not qualify for benefits. If this is the case keep your card until it expires so you can use it if you become eligible in the future.
