I have a bank account. May I sign up for the Direct Express® card?
Yes, anyone receiving federal benefits can sign up for the card. However, if you have a bank account, please consider signing up for direct deposit. To enroll in direct deposit, call Treasury’s Go Direct® helpline toll free at 1 (800) 333-1795, or visit www.GoDirect.org. You may also sign up for direct deposit through the Social Security Administration by calling toll free at 1 (800) 772-1213 (TTY users can call 1 (800) 325-0778.) or enrolling online at www.socialsecurity.gov. A third option is to sign up for direct deposit through your bank or credit union.
