Oregon to Put Out Jobless Payments Through ATMs
January 16, 2003 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Some jobless
Oregon residents will soon be able to get their unemployment
benefits from their local US Bank ATM.
Reported by Fred Schneyer
The Associated Press reported that the state is piloting a program to dispense the jobless payments through bank automated teller machines (ATM) – in this case US Bank. People drawing unemployment will get a debit card and a pin number so they can get their cash from an ATM.
A spokesman for the Oregon Employment Department says the state will save money by cutting fewer checks and paying less in postage.
