2. If you have received at least one payment from your current production, go to My Pay, then Direct Deposit Management. Under My Projects, you can refer to a list of projects that paid you in the last three months and if they’re offering Direct Deposit.

You receive an email confirmation when your enrollment is Active. Check for the Active status on your account any time on your Settings or Direct Deposit Management screen.

• Active – Active means EP verified your account(s) and you’re ready to receive Direct Deposit payments.

• Rejected – Rejected means EP couldn’t approve your Direct Deposit enrollment.

• Suspended – Suspended means a Direct Deposit transmission returned to EP after other deposits went through.

If your Direct Deposit enrollment is rejected, expect an email alert that includes the reason. Or check anytime by signing in and navigating to the Settings or the Direct Deposit Management screen. From there, view the status and the reason. Common reasons enrollments are rejected include:

1. Backup documentation didn’t include your name or account number.

2. The name on the document didn’t match the name of the person being paid.

3. The account number entered didn’t match the account number on the document.

A Direct Deposit enrollment is suspended when a Direct Deposit transmission is returned to EP when EP previously made deposits to that account. Contact your bank to resolve. Or remove the account from myEP and submit a new enrollment for a different, valid account.

MyEP uses a routing number validation system to ensure the correct institution and transit number are received. If the system does not accept your routing number, confirm with your bank that you have the right number. Or try a different account. Once you enter a valid number, your bank’s name displays.
