Make UI Payments Online

DWD Unemployment Insurance (UI) has partnered with U.S. Bank to accept online payments for UI employer taxes or to repay UI benefit overpayments.

Anyone may logon to the UI Payment Portal to securely make a payment:

  1. Payers must use a DWD/Wisconsin Logon:
    • Current users may logon with the same username and password used for the UI Employer Portal, UI Claimant Portal, Job Center of Wisconsin, etc.
    • New users may sign up to create a new DWD/Wisconsin Logon.
  2. Payers identify the UI claimant or UI employer account.
  3. Payers enter bank account, credit card, or debit card information on a secure U.S. Bank web form.
  4. Payers receive payment confirmation and email notification from U.S. Bank.
