For years, Social Security has stressed the convenience, security, and safety of getting benefit payments electronically. Soon, direct deposit (or Direct Express) will not only be the best way to receive federal benefit payments — it will be the only way. The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a new rule that will phase out paper checks for federal benefit and nontax payments by March 1, 2013.
Here is how the transition will work. Anyone applying for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits on or after May 1 will receive their payments electronically, while those already receiving paper checks will need to switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013. Anyone already receiving their benefit payments electronically will continue to receive their payment as usual on their payment day.
People receiving benefits have the option of direct deposit to a bank or credit union account (of their choice) or into a Direct Express Debit MasterCard card account (a Treasury-recommended prepaid card option). you can visit this website for more information.
