There are no checks to be lost or stolen. You will get your payments quickly and on time, even if you are out of town, sick or unable to get to your financial institution. Both you and your money will be safe. Ask your financial institution for details. If you don't have an account, consider opening one and signing up for direct deposit.
Most financial institutions offer a variety of accounts, some with little or no fees.
Look for one that meets your needs. If don't want direct deposit, you can continue to receive your money by check. Whatever choice you make, your federal payments will continue to be made on time and without interruption. Please take the time to make the choice that's right for you. E-mail the ABA Webmaster.
