If you have questions about Economic Impact Payment (EIP) cards, the Department of Treasury has provided information here.  Per the Department, to validate an EIP card, you will be asked to provide, at minimum, your name, address, and social security number. You will also be asked to create a 4-digit PIN required for ATM transactions and automated assistance and to hear your balance. For your account security, do not use personal information as your PIN. For cards with more than one name, only the primary cardholder (listed first on the card) may activate the card. The Department is working with a private company, Money Network Financial, LLC, to assist with the EIP card program. For further details about EIP cards, including FAQ’s please visit the company’s website here.

Cardholders who have not yet activated their EIP cards as of July 7 will receive a reminder from the U.S. Treasury by mail. The letter contains information regarding how to activate your card, use your card, and how to check your remaining balance.
