Will My Benefit Payment Be Doubled Next Month Because I Didn't Receive My Current Month's Direct Deposit?
I closed bank account. Did not receive direct deposit for February. Will my benefit check be double in March?
Thank you
Hi. If you had a benefit payment that was returned due to closed bank account, Social Security should reimburse you for that as soon as possible. They won't necessarily wait until your next month's payment is due before returning the returned payment to you.
The important thing you'll want to do is contact Social Security to make sure that they now have your correct and current bank account number for direct deposit. They should then send you the payment that was returned shortly after they have all of the correct information in their files.
Best, Jerry
