It's Older Americans Month!
May is Older Americans Month. There's no better time to help seniors switch from paper checks to direct deposit or the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card for their Social Security payments. By making the switch now, seniors can cross one thing off their to-do list and avoid possible long waits as the March 1, 2013 deadline approaches. Plus, by taking action now, seniors will help save taxpayers money and immediately receive their payments in a more reliable way.
It's easy to promote electronic payments for federal benefits and motivate seniors to take this important step. Here's how:
-
Train Your Staff – Share internal campaign messages with your staff and encourage them to help seniors understand the new requirement for all-electronic federal benefit payments.
-
Distribute Information – Display, publish and share campaign fliers, statement messages, newsletter copy, web banners, social media posts and more with the seniors you serve.
-
Help Them Switch –Take a few minutes to visit www.GoDirect.org or call (800) 333-1795 and help people make the switch. They'll need their most recent federal benefit check and bank or credit union information (for direct deposit).
