How Can I Receive My Payments If I Don't Have A Bank Account?
Hello Larry,
I spoke to Social Security about a Direct Express card because I no longer have a bank account. I found no application. Is there something else as a paper check might lead to many problems as I am homeless. I can't be the only one. What would you advise? Going into the office is a problem with a knapsack. Thank you.
Hi. The instructions for applying to have your Social Security benefit payments issued via a Direct Express card can be found on the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/deposit/.
Best, Jerry
