  I receive checks by direct deposit. Must I still notify you that I have moved?
  Question
  I receive checks direct deposited to my bank. Must I still notify Social Security that I have moved to a new address?
  Answer
 

Yes. We need your correct mailing address to send you notices and other correspondence about your benefits even if you receive your checks directly deposited to your bank.

You can change your address online by answering a series of questions that have to match our records. You can also change your address on the Internet if you have established a permanent password.

If you would like to get a password, you can apply online or you can call us at 1-800-772-1213. A change of address also may be reported to our local Field Offices. Addresses and telephone numbers of these offices may be obtained from the Social Security Office Locator.
