During the weekend of June 23 and 24, 2018, the vender for CalWORKs and CalFresh EBT changed to Fidelity Information Systems (FIS). As a result of this change, the network of surcharge-free ATMs also changed. The new network will be effective starting June 25, 2018.
The new surcharge-free ATM includes every Bank of America ATM in California, ATMs at Citibank, Comerica Bank, Rabobank, U.S. Bank and several smaller financial institutions. CDSS states the new network will be about 7,400 surcharge-free ATM, which is an increase of about 2,200 surcharge-free ATMs.
Effective June 25, 2018, MoneyPass ATMs will no longer be part of the surcharge-free ATM network. However, CDSS will hold clients harmless from surcharges at MoneyPass ATMs until September 30, 2018. CDSS will be sending a mailer to all clients explaining the changes to the surcharge-free ATM network. (ACIN I-39-18, June 22, 2018.)
