Important Info About Fraudulent Email, Phone, or Text Messages and Reliacard
ReliaCard
Many of you receive unemployment insurance benefits on Reliacard. Any email or text message that asks you to confirm, verify, or otherwise provide personal information (also known as phishing) regarding your Reliacard account is a fraud.

US BANK will never ask you for sensitive account information such as your Passwords, PIN Numbers, Social Security Number or Account Numbers via email, phone or text message. The Employment Department will never ask you for your Passwords, PIN Numbers or Bank Account Number information via email, phone or text message.

If you have any questions about any message received from US Bank, call the phone number on the back of your ReliaCard Visa Debit card (1-866-276-5114). If you have any questions about any message received from the Oregon Employment Department, call your UI Center.
