How does a veteran become enrolled in the “direct deposit” program for VA compensation or pension benefits?
Enrollment in this service, which is recommended for efficiency and security, can be accomplished by telephone. You may reach your local VA regional office at 1-800-827-1000. A benefits counselor there can enroll you so that your benefits check can be electronically credited to your bank account each month. Some VA benefits such as education payments and insurance dividends are not included in the direct deposit program, however.
