Getting Checks?

¿Sigue recibiendo Seguro Social, VA u otros beneficios federales por cheque de papel? Usted está obligado por el Departamento del Tesoro de los EE.UU. a cambiarse a pagos electrónicos. Es la ley.

Con el depósito directo, el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos envía un mensaje electrónico a su banco o cooperativa de ahorro y crédito, acreditándole en su cuenta el monto exacto de su beneficio. La diferencia es que su cheque no se imprime ni se envía por correo.

También se puede inscribir por correo. Solo tiene que imprimir, completar, y enviar sus formas.
