Home > PA Electronic Payment Card

Government has an obligation to operate and offer services in the most efficient manner possible, but that doesn’t mean we should penalize the people we’re trying to serve. Working with Chase, we’ve developed a national model for how to pay benefits via a debit card in a way that does not ‘nickel and dime’ recipients with high fees and excessive transaction costs. Instead, workers who have earned benefits – and need those dollars to get through hard times – will have more resources to survive and support their families. I want every Pennsylvanian to have a shot at economic security. That requires access to fair and sound financial products, which is exactly what we’re providing with this new debit card program.
