It appears that a number of states have moved to debit cards for unemployment applications, and the banks that have been contracted the service are nickel and diming the recipients with fees (see also here).

Even better, the banks in question are TARP recipients.

I will note that the banks are already making millions in interest on the “float” on the accounts sitting there, and if you call to complain, they charge you for that too.
