Changing or canceling your payroll direct deposit

Changing your direct deposit is easy by filling out a new Payroll Direct Deposit Authorization form and indicating it’s a change. Please share it with your employer and resend the updated form to GET or WA529 Invest.

To cancel, notify your employer’s payroll office to stop the deposit, and contact GET or WA529 Invest to inform them of your cancellation. 

For GET Custom Monthly accounts, reach out to set up a new arrangement for your monthly contributions.

 
Are payroll direct deposits pre-tax or after-tax?

All GET and WA529 Invest payroll direct deposits are after-tax deductions, as required under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

 
Requirements for WA529 Invest payroll direct deposits

To take advantage of payroll direct deposits, the WA529 Invest account must be owned by the employee. Unfortunately, contributions can’t be made to accounts that belong to a spouse or anyone else.

We accept contributions through ACH funds only. You can still set up automatic monthly contributions through the WA529 Invest Plan if your employer doesn't support ACH. For more information, review the WA529 Invest Program Booklet or contact us.
