  Question
  Does SSA have a form to sign up for direct deposit of benefits?
  Answer
 

No. SSA does not have a form for direct deposit of benefits. The easiest way for beneficiaries to start or change direct deposit is to either use our online application at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pdd/, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or contact their financial institution.

SSA can also use Treasury Department form, SF-1199a to start direct deposit, available in Portable Document Format (PDF) at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/deposit/1199a.pdf.  The completed form can be mailed to your local Social Security office which you can locate at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/

To read and print the form, you must have Adobe Reader software installed on your computer.
