Excluded Workers Fund.

African Services Committee is no longer accepting new applications as all funds have been allocated by the New York State Department of Labor. 

Out of an abundance of caution, effective December 28, 2021, we will suspend the option to withdraw cash from an ATM for cardholders with a remaining balance on their prepaid card to minimize fraudulent activity and protect these cardholder funds. If you have a remaining balance on your prepaid card and would like access to your funds in cash, you will have the option to make a free withdrawal in-person at most banks or credit unions accepting Visa debit. Please note that you will need to present a photo ID and Excluded Workers Fund prepaid card at the time of withdrawal to complete the transaction. The name on your identification must match the registered name on your Excluded Workers Fund prepaid card. Withdrawals are limited to one (1) transaction between $20–$500 per 24-hour period and subject to the bank or credit union’s terms and conditions (which may include a smaller withdrawal limit or other requirements). Please click here for a list of banks and credit unions where cardholders can withdraw cash in-person.

For card service, call Blackhawk at +1 833 458 4262.
