Issues surrounding the working of the Way2Go has been raised in 2020 since a record number of people have issued for unemployment benefits.
Comerica, which issues Direct Express cards for Social Security and veterans benefits as well as Way2Go unemployment payment cards, declined to comment for this story. I wonder why? ?
