jfchandler Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 See this Associated Press news report below on the coming changes at this link: http://think.zionsdirect.com/2010/12/27/soon-the-government-check/ Soon the government check won’t be in the mail 12.27.10 Posted by Martin Crutsinger WASHINGTON (AP) — Before too long, the government check will no longer be in the mail. Officials have settled on the dates when millions of people will no longer be able to get their Social Security and other benefit checks by mail. New recipients of benefits will have to accept paperless payments starting on May 1 of next year, three months later than first proposed.Those already on Social Security will have until March 1, 2013 to make the switch to direct deposits or a debit card. (continued in full article linked above). For whatever debit card system they end up using, I certainly hope it doesn't include any foreign currency conversion fee...
