Direct deposit • the safer, easier choice for Miami-Dade
Go Direct campaign helps people sign up for direct deposit, saves taxpayer dollars
If you could make life safer and easier for yourself or a loved one with just one phone call, wouldn’t you?
Switching to direct deposit is a small but important way that people who get Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks can improve their lives. And it just takes a few minutes to sign up.
Dade County Federal Credit Union is proud to partner with Go Direct • a campaign sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks to inform people who receive federal benefits about the advantages of direct deposit and help them sign up for it.
With direct deposit, you have:
· The safest method of receiving your payment
· An easier, more convenient way to access your money
· Control over your money and your time
Plus, signing up is quick and easy • call (800) 333-1795 or sign up online at www.GoDirect.org
Direct deposit eliminates the risk of lost or stolen checks, and helps protect against fraud and identity theft. Furthermore, direct deposit provides people with immediate access to their money from virtually everywhere, which can be vitally important in the case of a natural disaster or a major life change.
Direct deposit also saves taxpayers millions of dollars. If every person who received federal benefit checks in Florida switched to direct deposit, it would save taxpayers more than 4.5 million a year. Almost all the money saved would remain in the Social Security Trust Fund • a benefit to all Americans for years to come.
Go Direct makes it easy for people who receive Social Security and SSI to sign up for direct deposit • they can call the toll-free helpline (800) 333-1795 or sign up online at www.GoDirect.org.
If you or those close to you are still receiving Social Security or other federal benefits by check, we urge you to look into switching to the safest, easiest option • direct deposit • today!
