The second a govt check hits your bank via direct deposit, it is part of your ---bank account.

It's not worth the trouble. Direct Deposit is safer and quicker.

Most would think of the convenience of direct deposit, unless there are problems!

I agree;there is a much larger chance that ytour check by mail will get loss or stolen than any seizing of bank accounts. Happens all the time with mailed checks. They can actually attach you money before the government sends it in many cases besides ;just as they can income tax retruns.

Set up a separate bank account for your social security deposit. It cannot be seized. If you cash the check, the cash can be seized.
