Direct Express Debit Cards will allow SSI and SSDI recipients to access their benefits conveniently without needing a bank account.
Social Security no longer issues paper checks for SSI and SSDI payments, emphasizing direct deposit and debit cards.
Debit cards provide easy access to funds at ATMs and are more convenient than traditional banking methods.
To activate your Direct Express Debit Card, visit the nearest ATM and set your PIN.
Claim your Direct Express card by calling (800) 333-1795 or visiting a local government Payinagency.
Beware of scams. Do not respond to unsolicited emails or calls about your Direct Express card.
Link your Direct Express card to the Cash App for additional features like sending money and investing in stocks.
