Social Security payments

 Social Security checks are no longer mailed to most beneficiaries. You can receive your payment through two ways: Direct deposit. You can choose to have the Social Security check deposited directly into your bank or credit union account. Or Direct Express debit card. You can have the Social Security check loaded onto a debit card through the Direct Express card program. You don’t need a bank account for this setup. The card works for making purchases, paying bills or getting cash. However, there may be fees associated with some transactions. Social Security benefits are sent out the month after they are due. In other words: Social Security checks are paid in arrears, so any check received is for the month prior. Questions call 855-226-6639 or go to yoursafemoneyshow.com.
