Quick Summary
- California Child Support Electronic Payment Cards (formerly EPPICard) now authenticate through Conduent's Way2Go Card portal at https://www.goprogram.com.
- Legacy eppicard.com login credentials no longer function for California accounts; users must register a new User ID and Password on GoProgram.

Fixing Card Lockouts & Legacy Portal Errors
⚠️ California EPPICard Portal Closed / Old Credentials Rejected
Cause: California transitioned all active child support Electronic Payment Cards from the legacy EPPICard platform to the Conduent Way2Go program. Old EPPICard User IDs and passwords are deactivated.
Solution: Navigate to https://www.goprogram.com and click Register your account to establish a fresh User ID and Password using your Way2Go card number. If you still have unclaimed funds from an expired legacy EPPICard, call 1-877-777-1617 or 1-844-318-0740 to request a paper balance check before dormancy escheatment to the California Unclaimed Property Department.
⚠️ New Card Declined at ATM or Point-of-Sale Terminal
Cause: Newly mailed California Electronic Payment Cards arrive in an inactive security state and cannot process debit or cash-back transactions until a personal PIN is established.
Solution: Log in to https://www.goprogram.com or open the Go Program Way2Go Card mobile app, select Activate a new Card, and set your 4-digit PIN. Alternatively, call the automated activation line at 1-844-318-0740.
⚠️ Session Timed Out or Blank Screen on Registration Page
Cause: Conduent's portal enforces strict inactivity timeouts and requires active client-side JavaScript to render the DOB and Card Number validation fields.
Solution: Clear your browser cache, ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings, disable aggressive script-blocking extensions, and launch a fresh session at https://www.goprogram.com.
Prepaid Mastercard Security & Fraud Prevention
- 🔒 Always verify that your browser address bar displays the official SSL-encrypted Conduent domains (https://www.goprogram.com, https://www.eppicard.com, or https://www.casdu.com) before typing your card number or SSN.
- 🔒 Never create a password that contains your first or last name, your 4-digit ATM PIN, street address digits, or your children's birthdates.
- 🔒 Use the instant Lock/Unlock Card toggle inside the Go Program Way2Go Card app immediately if your physical card goes missing, rather than leaving the balance exposed.
- 🔒 California Child Support Services and Conduent will never send unsolicited text messages asking for your full 16-digit card number, CVV, or PIN.
