Most unemployment agencies will allow you to direct deposit your benefits to your Walmart MoneyCard account.

Set up direct deposit to your account automatically in the Walmart MoneyCard app or on Walmart MoneyCard.com.

Set up automatically

To see if you can automatically set up direct deposit of your unemployment benefits to your Walmart MoneyCard account, follow the easy steps below:

Log in to the app or Walmart MoneyCard.com to access your "Direct deposit" page from the Move money menu.

To get started, tap or click the "Set up automatically" button at the bottom of the "Direct deposit".

Review the steps for how to automatically set up your direct deposit & hit "Continue."

From there, you can search "Who pays you?" to find your unemployment benefits provider to set up your direct deposit automatically in just a few steps.

Provide your unemployment benefits portal login credentials. Walmart MoneyCard uses Atomic to securely connect to your benefits provider to update your direct deposit information.

Select how much of your pay you want direct deposited to your Walmart MoneyCard account.

Confirm your direct deposit allocation to submit the request for processing. 

If your request is successful, you should start seeing your direct deposit in your Walmart MoneyCard account within 1-2 pay cycles. If your request was not successful or you are unable to find your unemployment benefits provider, please see "Set up manually" steps below.

Set up manually

Contact your unemployment benefits provider for instructions on how to set up direct deposit.

You will need your account & bank routing numbers.  Follow these steps to get your account & bank routing numbers:

Log in to the app or Walmart MoneyCard.com to access your "Direct deposit" page.

Select “Direct deposit” from the Move Money menu on the app.

From the direct deposit page, copy your Walmart MoneyCard direct deposit account number & bank routing number to give to your unemployment benefits provider.

If your benefits provider requests the account type, enter “Checking.”

Follow the instructions provided by your benefits provider to give your Walmart MoneyCard account & bank routing numbers & make your direct deposit selection.

Once setup is complete, direct deposits usually start showing up in your Walmart MoneyCard account within 1-2 payroll cycles.

TIP: Ask your benefits provider how long it will take them to set up your direct deposit. If it takes longer than expected to receive your first direct deposit, check back with your benefits provider. Walmart MoneyCard does not have any information about your direct deposit enrollment status.

IMPORTANT: The name & Social Security number on file with your benefits provider must match your Walmart MoneyCard account to prevent fraud restrictions on the account.
