SAIF is now offering a new way to get workers' compensation claim benefit payments. Workers can get their payments deposited to a debit card – the U.S. Bank ReliaCard – instead of paying fees to cash checks.
The ReliaCard is a Visa debit card. Your workers' compensation payments will be automatically deposited to your card. Purchases or cash withdrawals are deducted from the available balance on the card.
The debit card option is voluntary and offered for the worker's convenience. Eligible workers will continue to have the option of having their claim benefits deposited directly into their bank account.
Using the card
- Use it at millions of places that accept debit cards
- Make purchases in stores, by phone, online, or pay bills
- Get cash at more than 1.3 million Visa/Plus ATMs
- Use the cash-back option at participating merchants, such as grocery stores
ReliaCard benefits include
- Easy to establish | You automatically qualify for this card. No customer credit approval or bank account is required.
- Cost savings | No fees for purchases or cash back from Visa's Interlink merchants, or for paying bills or making online, phone, or mail order purchases. Plus, you get two transactions per month without a service fee at any U.S. Bank ATM or the teller of any financial institution that accepts Visa.
- Visa acceptance | Make purchases everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted
- Convenience | Your workers' compensation payments are automatically deposited to the card.
- Security | No more worries about late, lost, or stolen checks, or the need to carry cash. If the card is lost or stolen, the funds are protected with Visa's Zero Liability policy.*
