Never heard of this type of Debit Card. That being said, have you contacted their Support yet to see what the issue could be?

for those that only read the headline.... the linked story is about a scam USING the Federal program Direct Express, not that Direct express is a scam.
"Direct Express Scam
A recent press release by the the Social Security Administration has warned consumers of a texting scam involving “Direct Express” cards. The Direct Express card is used by the U.S. Treasury as an alternative to direct deposit for those who do not have a bank account.
The texting scam attempts to dupe people into giving their Direct Express information to a third party. Targeted consumers will receive a text message from a party claiming to be Direct Express, and are directed to call a number provided. When the individual dials the number, a recorded voice states, “You are calling the Direct Express MasterCard verification service and due to an internal error and to avoid suspension of your card, push 1 to get verified."
