Direct Deposit for Social Security on Upswing in the West
Just months after the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced it is retiring paper checks for federal benefit payments and going all-electronic by March 1, 2013, the use of direct deposit is on the upswing – including in the Western region of the country where new survey findings suggest safety and other benefits of electronic payments are widely recognized.
“While more than 91 percent of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in the Western region of the country are now being made electronically, up from 88.7 percent nine months ago – senior citizens and others living in the 12 state region still rely on 1.38 million Social Security paper check payments each month,” said David A. Lebryk, Commissioner of the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service. “By complying with the new requirement to switch to direct deposit, people can avoid putting their money at possible risk during the holiday season and all year round.”
In 2010, more than 540,000 Social Security and SSI paper checks were reported lost or stolen and had to be reissued, while an estimated $93 million worth of Treasury-issued checks were fraudulently endorsed. The Treasury Department is sending information along with regular check payments about how to easily make the switch online or by calling a toll-free helpline. Recipients of the notices include federal benefit recipients in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, among other states.
The Treasury Department is urging all federal benefit recipients to switch to direct deposit or to the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card through the U.S. Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Center online at www.GoDirect.org or toll-free at 1-800-333-1795.
