Coming Soon! Security Enhancements to ACH Payments

Beginning April 28, 2022, First Data Government Solutions is implementing a multi-factor authentication process (MFA) for our employers to use for Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. Adding an MFA process will increase online security for our employers.


When do I make ACH payments?

Employers use First Data Government Solutions website when making payments for wage report contributions, accelerated payments, and other types of payments. 


We will share more details in the next Employer Digest newsletter.
