No reason for the govt to do away with mailing SS checks.

Some SS recipients are finding out that a checking account can be frozen/garnished while a SS check could not.

Once your SS enters a bank account it is fair game to be seized.

Geez - I would hope, by now, those days are behind DC. But, everyone's got a story.

lol, don't quit your day job. You're a pathetic fiction writer.

I have a bank account. If you had any kind of thinking skills and/or reading comprehension, you would know that since I specifically addressed direct deposit.

But do keep fanticizing. It's amusing.

And btw, you're 100% wrong about security with debit cards. Some time back, I had a bogus charge on my bank debit card. It was resolved within 3 days, no problem.

Only partially true.

Not true.
According to http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcf...-pay-debt.html
Quote:
Under a federal rule that became effective in May 2011, your bank is required automatically to protect up to two months of these benefits that are directly deposited into your account.

Fiction writer??? Me??

You need to reread the convo.

It wasn't me fantasizing, Teddy was - suggesting first you might not be able to get a bank account, and then maybe you wouldn't want to use it because of garnishment.

All I wanted to know, like others upthread, was why you chose DirectExpress instead of direct deposit?

You haven't answered that, yet. Was there an advantage to that method over DD?

As usual, you're dead wrong.

Teddy spoke in generalities. You are the one who made it personal, assuming those generalities applied to me.

Cute, but FAIL.

Dale Cooper, are you really seeking input about your experience or are you trying to make a political argument? This is not the POC forum.
