Social Security and Payroll Direct Deposit

Social Security Direct Deposit
Have you heard? Millions of people who get Social Security have their monthly payments go right into their bank account through Direct Deposit. Here's why you should --
  • You don't have to worry about your check being lost, stolen, or misplaced.
  • You won't have to make a special trip to the bank to deposit your check. This is especially important in bad weather, times of ill-health, or when you're away from home on check day.
  • You'll have your money available at the opening of business on the day payments are scheduled to arrive in the mail. If you have an interest-bearing account, you begin earning interest on your money immediately.
  • You won't have to be concerned over U.S. Treasury checks expiring after a year.
