ATTENTION ALL EMPLOYEES & TRIBAL MEMBERS!
The Ho-Chunk Nation Treasury Department is going paperless starting on July 1, 2017!
Žuurasak means “fast money” in an effort to get tribal members and employees their money quicker along with the cost savings to the Nation and in the interest of becoming environmentally friendly this campaign encourages everyone to fill out the necessary forms by the deadlines listed below to receive your money fast. 
Here is what you need to know
• Paper checks and the non-value paper stubs will no longer be distributed after 07/01/2017.  If you do not sign up for direct deposit or Rapid! Pay card by the deadlines listed below, your payment will be delayed until you do. 
• Regardless how you receive your Payroll and Per Capita now - you must complete a Payroll Direct Deposit form and if a Tribal member, a Per Capita Direct Deposit form.
• All paychecks and per-cap checks will be electronically deposited into a bank account or on to the Rapid! Pay Card via electronic funds transfer.
• All other payments made to Tribal members and Employees will be deposited directly into a bank account and /or on to the Rapid! Pay Card via electronic funds transfer.  There will be no paper checks or stubs.
• All check-stub type information related to payments to Tribal members and Employees will be available online for download.
• Does the Rapid! Card have fees?
ATMs that belong to the Allpoint and Money Pass Networks as well as others such as Kwik Trip & TOB will have no ATM surcharge fee.  You may also access cash at any bank but this method usually has a fee attached. A more detailed fee schedule is on the Ho-Chunk Treasury website or available at Treasury front desk. 
• Expect it to take about 7-10 business days to receive the pay card with your name on it.  Please plan ahead.
• You can use the Rapid! Pay Card just like a debit card. 
• If you have not completed the Payroll Direct Deposit or the Per Capita Direct Deposit form you will not receive a paper check.
