Briefly Noted: Paper SS Checks End March 1

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

The federal government will stop mailing paper checks for Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Veterans Affairs and other benefits on March 1. A reminder was issued by state Rep. Bill Kortz this week.

All recipients must switch to direct deposit or a Direct Express debit card before then, Kortz said. If you already get electronic payments from Social Security, the VA or the Railroad Retirement board, you will not be affected.

To start using direct deposit, Kortz said recipients should call the U.S. Treasury's Electronic Payment Solution Center at 1-800-333-1795.

Another option is to get a Direct Express debit card, which can be used anywhere that MasterCard is accepted. Direct Express debit cards are available at the Social Security office, 540 Fifth Ave., Downtown McKeesport, Kortz said.
