The Wisconsin Debit MasterCard

Way2Go debit mastercard

On Jan. 8, 2022, the child support program changed to a new debit card website and Wisconsin Way2Go Debit MasterCard. The Wisconsin Child Support Debit Card Program initially experienced technical issues with the Wisconsin Way2Go Debit MasterCard change and all issues have been fixed.  

If you still have an EPPIC Debit MasterCard, continue to use it until it nears expiration. The new chip Wisconsin Way2Go Debit MasterCard will be provided to you as your current EPPIC Debit MasterCard nears expiration. Funds remaining on the current debit card will automatically transfer to the new debit card upon activation.

The new website, www.GoProgram.com, requires users to establish a new User ID and password. Be sure to have your Wisconsin EPPIC Debit MasterCard handy to set up your new login credentials.

Can I use my EPPIC debit card or Way2Go debit card to pay for fuel at the pump?

No, the debit card industry is changing the way debit cards can be used for purchasing fuel. Pay at the pump will no longer be allowed for debit cards. Debit card users will need to pay for their fuel inside the station or kiosk. The industry change is due to the hold that occurs when a consumer uses a debit card to purchase fuel and pays at the pump. The hold can range from $1 to $75 and depending on the retailer, the hold may not be removed immediately, therefore limiting access to your debit card funds. Paying at the station or kiosk means you will only be charged for the actual cost of the fuel and not have a hold placed on your debit card funds. This is a change for all debit card users.

What happens when a customer enrolled in the Wisconsin Way2Go Debit MasterCard dies?

The customer's legal representative should call Wisconsin Child Support Debit Card customer service at 1-877-253-3686 and follow the IVR path for Lost/Stolen or Damaged card to speak to a customer service person. The legal representative will need to provide specific documents to Go Program in order to prove their legal right to these funds.

What should I do if my Wisconsin Way2Go Debit MasterCard or EPPIC Debit MasterCard is lost or stolen?

You should call Wisconsin Child Support Debit Card customer service at 1-877-253-3686 and listen closely to the IVR, following the path to report a lost or stolen card.
