Of course. Are you already receiving benefits?
Yes, I am.
Do you already receive Social Security or SSI benefits and do you have a bank account?
No, I lack a bank account.
What if I wasn't receiving social security, but was planning to apply?
In that case you should tell the Social Security representative when you apply for benefits that you want to sign up for Direct Deposit.
Well, of course. That's only logical. So how do I sign up for a direct express card?
It's quick and easy to sign up for the card. Call the toll-free Direct Express hotline at 1-800-333-1795. Social Security can help you sign up.
Back to my original issue. I don't have a bank account. What should I do?
