The Social Security Administration is warning beneficiaries that those receiving paper checks risk payment disruptions due to a requirement to shift to electronic payments by September 30. Although over 99% of beneficiaries use direct deposit, more than half a million still receive paper checks. Those who wish to continue receiving checks must apply for a waiver directly with the Treasury Department. Failure to obtain a waiver by the deadline may result in delays in payment. SSA is working to assist beneficiaries in transitioning to electronic payment options.
SSA beneficiaries receiving paper checks face disruptions as the agency urges a shift to direct deposit or Direct Express. Those not compliant by the September deadline face delayed payments.
Over half a million beneficiaries still receive paper checks, and SSA aims to transition them to electronic forms of payment as mandated by a Trump administration deadline.
