Direct Deposit Instructions (One Account)
Direct Deposit is the fastest and most convenient way to receive your paycheck. It eliminates lost or stolen checks as well as trips to pick up and deposit checks. To get started, all you need is your ULID, password, and bank account information. Bank account information can be found on a check or obtained from your bank. Do not use a deposit slip or debit card number.
ACCESSING PEOPLESOFT SELF-SERVICE
Employees who desire to update their direct deposit via Employee Self Service must be on an Illinois State Network, or using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). For assistance with MFA, contact the Technology Support Center at (309) 438-4357 or SupportCenter@IllinoisState.edu.
Go to MyIllinoisState. Sign in using your ULID and password. Select the Pay & Benefits tab followed by the iPeople button. Next, select the Direct Deposit tile.
ACCESSING DIRECT DEPOSIT INFORMATION
Direct deposit add or edit changes are allowed if done within the same calendar date of the initial deposit add or change. Direct Deposit reorder and delete changes cannot be completed on the same calendar day once add or edit have occurred. If you attempt to make additional changes after the initial entry date, you will receive a message on the Direct Deposit page stating the deposit changes are not allowed.
