Youth who have not been assigned a work site can contact 311 or visit the Office of Youth Programs at 625 H Street, NE.
Debit Card Process
This summer youth workers will be paid through a VISA debit card. Before you can get paid you must first have a debit card and before you are able to access your money, you must activate your card.
Where do I get my debit card?
Debit Cards are issued by the Office of Youth Programs, 625 H Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. The debit card will only be released to you. You must bring a photo ID or other form of identification.
How do I activate my debit card?
To activate your debit card, you either call the number on the card or visit www.myaccount.chase.com
How do I get information about how much money I have on my card?
You can do so via the internet at www.myaccount.chase.com
How do I use my debit card?
• Choose an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) with the AllPoints Logo. Find listings of AllPoints locations at http://locator.allpointnetwork.com/SearchResults.aspx
• Swipe or put your card in the card slot
• Enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN)
• Press “Checking”
• Enter amount to be withdrawn
• Withdraw cash
What if I lose my card?
The first time you lose your card you will receive a replacement card free of charge; but you will be charged $7.50 for each additional lost card. Call the 1-866-795-3890 to report your lost or stolen debit card. Give them your name, date of birth, and social security number. When asked to verify your address, you must use the following address: 625 H Street, NE Washington, D.C., since this is the address on file for lost/stolen cards.
IMPORTANT TIPS
• Don’t forget to get your debit card from the ATM once you have withdrawn your money!!
• Never give your PIN to anyone!
What is the difference between my Debit Card and my One Card?
Your debit card gives you access to your money in the bank. Your One Card gives you access to metro transportation, District public libraries, and all of the Department of Parks and Recreation facilities. You must load money to the card to use it on the metro. You may do this at a Metro station using cash, your debit card, or a credit card. On Metro buses, you can only use cash to load money on your One Card.
What if I lose my One Card?
Call 671-CARD (2273) and provide them with your name and social security number to cancel your card. You will be given instructions for the issuance of a new One Card.
How do I check how much money I have on my One Card?
Go to any Metro station and use any fare machine that accepts SmarTrip cards.
