OESC no longer issues paper checks. Your unemployment payments will be made via direct deposit or debit card. If you wish to enroll for direct deposit, you must wait until the next business day after you have filed your claim and then call 1-866-320-8699 which is a toll-free call. If you do not sign up for direct deposit, your payments will be made via debit card, which will mail out when you are found eligible for payment. It normally takes 7-10 days to receive the card after it is mailed. See site above.
