Default Signed up for direct deposit, but got debit card for unemployment benefits

I put a claim in for unemployment benefits on Oct. 23rd, and in the claim I signed up for direct deposit. But today I received a debit card in the mail even tho I signed up for direct deposit. Is this a mistake, or does everyone get a debit card even if they picked direct deposit? I claim my first benefits payment next week. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think all of the unemployment offices are doing away with checks. Is it a BofA card?

If you signed up for direct deposit you should have your payment two days after you claim your benefits online. My wife also was sent the debit card when she first signed up. But filling out the direct deposit gets your money deposited right into your account. The card is because there are no more checks being sent out. Also from NJ.
