I need some information about getting my Social Security direct deposited in my account.
Do you receive SSI benefits and have a bank account?
Yes to both.
You can sign up for Direct Deposit by doing one of the following:- starting or changing Direct Deposit online Social Security benefits only- contacting your bank, credit union or savings and loan association- calling Social Security toll-free at 1-800-772-1213
What if I have a credit union instead?
Yes it is possible to sign up through them.
I've chosen an account type, what do I do next?
Let a representative at your financial institution know that you are interested in signing up to receive your benefits by Direct Deposit.
Yeah, what if I need a bank account?
You must open an account before you can sign up for Direct Deposit. You should shop around in your area to find an account that has the features you want at a price you can afford.
Is there a number I can call for the card?
