A lot. Are you already receiving benefits?
Yes, I am.
Do you already receive Social Security or SSI benefits and you have a bank account?
Yes, to both.
Then you can sign up for Direct Deposit.
Great. I already have a bank account, as stated. What do I need to consider when applying?
Make sure to have your checkbook or a copy of your bank statement with you.
What next step should I take then if I have the account that is required?
In that case you should let the representative at the financial institution know that you are interested in signing up to receive your benefits by Direct Deposit.
That makes sense. And how do I sign up for a direct express card?
