Paper Checks To End...Direct Deposit
KENTUCKY...
As you know, the Treasury Department has publicly announced the All-Electronic Initiative to increase the electronic payment of government checks, including SSI and Social Security. Soon, all new beneficiaries may be required to be paid by some form of direct deposit. Paper checks may soon be eliminated. Social Security is contacting every person in the area who still receives a paper check to switch to some form of electronic payment. Thousands of people in our area have already signed up for direct deposit. So if you receive Social Security or SSI and still get a paper check - sign up for Direct Deposit today by calling your local Social Security office with the name of your bank and your account number. If you do not have a bank account, sign up for a Direct Express debit card today! Just call your local Social Security office at 606-432-2177.
