I am receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, and my checks go directly to the bank. How Do I get Social Security to change where my payments go if I change banks?
Open your new account and then call Social Security at 800-772-1213. Tell the representative your new account information, including your new account number. As usual, things take time with Social Security, so don’t close the old account until you’re sure your SSI monthly payment is being deposited at your new bank.
