Can you pass on your DoorDash Dasher earnings when you die?

DoorDash reviews requests about DoorDash Dasher earnings after a death case by case.

A DoorDash Dasher is a delivery courier who earns money on the DoorDash platform as an independent contractor, paid weekly by Direct Deposit, daily through Fast Pay, or into a DoorDash Crimson account, a Demand Deposit Account issued by Starion Bank, Member FDIC.

DoorDash decides what happens to DoorDash Dasher earnings after a death case by case; its terms promise no transfer. DoorDash allows no lifetime transfer of earnings; the account holder can only redeem them.

What happens to DoorDash Dasher at death

Case by case

DoorDash closes the Dasher account and can produce the earnings and tax records, resolving such requests case by case through Support. Earnings already paid out sit at the Dasher's own bank or in a DoorDash Crimson account, claimed through that bank.1, 2

Naming who acts after a death

Designation

A Dasher account cannot be retitled or assigned, and a DoorDash Crimson account cannot be owned as Payable on Death, Transfer on Death or In Trust For, so there is no beneficiary designation to fill in.3, 4
