Montgomery, Al.
'The 40,000 Alabamians who get unemployment compensation via a state-provided debit card soon will receive some new services.
When they receive new cards that will be mailed next week they'll be able to access the funds without surcharges at more ATMs; receive deposit and low-balance notifications via email, phone or text; access accounts via the Internet; and access free customer service by phone.
The Alabama Department of Industrial Relations, which manages the unemployment benefits program, has changed debit card providers, director Tom Surtees announced Friday.
"The state is saving money by using this provider, and we are able to offer more services to our customers that will make it easier and more convenient to keep track of transactions and payment to the card," he said in a statement.
Unemployed Alabamians who use the state debit cards should start using the new one on Feb. 23. Deposits will be made to the old ones through Feb. 22, and funds can be accessed via the old cards through April 30.
Funds on the old cards will revert to the state if not accessed by April 30.
