Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
The new system allows you to sign up for electronic funds transfer (EFT). EFT is not available to payees who are also on an Adult Home Help case.

Signing up for EFT makes it possible for the state to deposit funds directly into your bank account. Reasons you may want to use EFT include:

• EFT payments are safer than checks. Payees need not worry about their state payments being lost or stolen when receiving an EFT.
• Problems with EFT payments can be resolved in as little as twenty-four (24) hours, compared with an average of two weeks for paper checks.
• EFT payments are easier than checks. Once payees sign up for EFT, they do not have to go to their financial institution to use or access their funds.
