Direct Deposit vs. Paper Checks

The SSA recommends direct deposit for quicker, safer payments. Paper checks are delayed by mail time and can be vulnerable to fraud.

• Direct Deposit: Shows up on the precise payment date
• Paper Checks: Can take 5 business days to deliver through the mail

If you haven’t signed up for direct deposit, stop by Treasury’s Go Direct or call 1-800-333-1795 to get started with electronic payments.

General Reasons for Delays & Ways to Prevent Fraud

If your payment has not been received timely, here’s what might have caused the delay:

• Bank Problems: Mismatches in the account information, account closures, or bank processing delays.
• Holiday/Weekends: Processing can be delayed because of federal holidays.
• Mail Delays: Check papers may be delayed because of USPS delivery problems.
• SSA Processing Errors: Payments may be delayed occasionally by SSA because of system upgrades or verification checks.
• Possible Fraud: Report unusual activity or unexpected benefit changes to SSA right away.
