If you’re anticipating an economic impact payment, here are a few things you should know:

• You can check the status of your payment and any required next steps on the IRS webpage, Get My Payment.
• Funds will be sent to you based on information in your 2018 and/or 2019 tax filing.
• If you provided your account information in your tax filing, you likely don’t need to do anything to receive your money via direct deposit.
• If you did not provide your account information in your tax filing, visit Get My Payment to set up direct deposit of your money.
• If you don’t set up direct deposit, you will likely be sent a paper check through the mail. We recommend using Mobile Deposit to deposit your paper check from the safety of home.

Information for Direct Deposit
If you need to set up direct deposit at irs.gov/coronavirus, you will need:

• Your Account Number: Log in to Web Branch or our Mobile App, select your account, and go to the ‘Details’ tab to view your account number.
• UWCU Routing Number: 275979076

Watch out for scams! Fraudsters will try to cash in on your money. Don’t let them! If anyone tells you they can access your payment for you faster, they are a scam – no one can do that.

• Communicate only with the IRS at irs.gov/coronavirus.
• Be suspicious of anyone who calls, emails or texts you about your relief check.
• Never give out your account details or personal information to strangers.
• Be on the lookout for phony emails pretending to be from the government.

Beginning March 14, we took the precautionary step of temporarily suspending our in-person lobby services. All drive ups are still available during regular hours and offer essential banking services.

Most ATMS will continue to function without interruption. Keep in mind some ATMs, such as those in campus buildings, may be temporarily unavailable due to restricted facilities access.

Check the current availability of branch drive ups and ATMs.

You are welcome to visit our drive ups on bicycle or as a pedestrian. For your safety we recommend using the lane closest to the building and ask you to be alert as you mix with traffic.

• Lobby service is temporarily suspended – drive ups are open. View drive-up hours and locations here.
• Seminars, in-person appointments and public events are on hold. We’ll resume activities as soon as it’s safe.
• Extra cleaning and sanitizing. Our regular cleaning and sanitizing schedule has been ramped up.
• UWCU employee support. We have extended additional paid sick time to all employees and increased our work from home capabilities.
