McGuireWoods’ fintech team is pleased to share a new resource for businesses: the Earned Wage Access (EWA) Legislation Tracker, an interactive map, is now live.
Earned wage access continues to gain momentum, and the regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly. With 12 states having passed EWA laws or regulations and more pending, keeping track of where things stand across all 50 states has never been more important — or more complicated.
Our interactive tracker lets you:
- See the legislative status of every state at a glance on a color-coded U.S. map
- Filter by category — passed legislation, pending bills, AG opinions and more
- Click any state for detailed information on its EWA laws and regulatory activity
The tracker is updated on a rolling basis as new developments occur.
