  Question
  Do I have to use direct deposit?
  Answer
  Today, direct deposit is the way Social Security makes payments to people with bank accounts. The Government's goal is to make most payments by direct deposit or electronic methods. However, you can still receive your Social Security or SSI benefit by check if direct deposit is not right for you, but you should consider the many benefits that direct deposit offers.
