Will the U.S. Department of the Treasury mandate the use of this card for benefit recipients who currently use paper checks and dont have a checking or savings account?
Treasury has no plans at this time to require people currently receiving checks to switch to the card. However, the Direct Express® card offers more safety, convenience and reliability than paper checks, making it an excellent option for virtually anyone who gets a Social Security or Supplemental Security Income payment in the mail. Its particularly well suited for the nearly four million people who get federal benefits but dont have a bank account and havent had a direct deposit option until now.
