Checklist
Workers’ Comp Prepaid Card Checklist
Identify the benefit
Save the notice showing benefit type, covered period, amount, and issue date.
Find the card consent
Keep the written opt-in, card agreement, and fee disclosures.
Ask for the payment reference
Ask the administrator for the destination and transfer or trace reference; do not put full account numbers here.
Compare the account statement
Mark the deposit, rejection, reversal, or missing entry without altering the original.
Describe the access problem
Save activation errors, declined-transaction receipts, fee entries, or a lost-card report.
Contact the right parties
Keep dated responses from the claims administrator and card issuer, including reference numbers and follow-up instructions.
Preserve a method-change request
Keep the written notice, delivery proof, and confirmation of the next method and transition date.
Recheck the current rules
AB 1683 enacted a permanent extension in 2026. Check the current law and issuer instructions rather than relying on an older sunset notice.
Avoid

Common questions
Who should I contact first?
Ask the administrator about issuance and the issuer about account access. A lost card or unauthorized transaction needs prompt issuer contact through a verified channel.
Does this calculate a deadline?
No. Ask about the applicable dispute or transition deadline and preserve the written instructions.
Does an account balance prove the benefit was paid correctly?
No. Compare the covered period, benefit amount, transfer record, and account activity.
