Of course. 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.
My brother is not receiving benefits yet, but he is planning to apply and has a bank account. Can he apply for direct deposit, too?
Yes. Please tell him to take his checkbook or a copy of his bank statement with him.
Will do. And how can I sign up for direct deposit?
You can sign up by contacting your bank, credit union or savings and loan association, for example.
Great. What if I already have a bank account? What do I need to consider during my application?
Just have your checkbook or a copy of your bank statement with you.
And what would someone without an account do?
