My EP Support

If you haven’t received any payments from EP in the last three years, you need to wait until you have received your first physical paycheck in order to connect your payroll profile and set up direct deposit. This is because check information is required for completing the authentication step of your myEP account. Return to complete your payroll profile once you have a paycheck available. Checks issued to either an individual or a loan-out company are equally valid for verification.

Yes, as long as you have a valid Social Security Number which is required for verification purposes.
