Can you tell me what is direct deposit?
================
This is a safe, secure and simple way to get the benefits.
Do you need us to send your payment to a bank or credit union account?
not really.
================
Since when are we required to get our payments electronically?
It's like that since March 1, 2013.
================
I have more questions about this.
Do you need help setting up or changing your direct deposit online or have more questions about it?
Yes
We can answer all your questions and help you out if you call our toll-free number 1-800-772-1213 or you could visit your local Social Security office.
================
and what if I applied for benefits before March 1, 2013?
If you didn't sign up for electronic payment at the time, we recommend you to do it now.
================
can you give me a TTY number, please?.
Yes, our TTY number is 1-800-325-0778
