Can you quantify that? I believe that in some situations, it can be much more efficient.

Essentially, the Obama voters are the ones who get screwed, which would be okay, because they earned it with their vote. The problem is that they’ll complain and the Senate will pass a bill requiring that the rest of us also get screwed in the name of “social justice”.
If one is an Expat, direct deposit is the way to go.
My SS payments come on the 4th of every month, like clockwork.
I can go to my online banking just after midnight, the 4th, and see that my money is there. There was one exception. I had a 4th of July payment that posted on the 3rd.
I have been on direct deposit for four years. It has been perfect into at first my European bank, and now my Philippine bank. When I moved here, I opened my Philippine bank account. The lady in the bank filled out the SS forum. All I did was sign it.
My very next SS direct deposit was in my new account.
No doubt, they will make arrangements for the mentally and physically impaired.
Since about 1912. Welcome to the party.

It’s not cheating them if it’s a handout
Finally - something this administration is doing that I agree with. this is long overdue. I love direct deposit and autoamtic payment of bills. I have better things to do with my time than deposit government checks.
Well, maybe you have a point. Don't agree with most of the payments anyway unless the recipient is elderly, poor, disabled or mentally-challenged.
Use the frozen and lost money to pay on their Obmamaphone bill.
Small potatoes to be worried about when you should be impeaching DC.

19,000 welfare recipients in MA were receiving checks in the mail that apparently didn’t exist(the people)- $7.6 million every month.
I’m OK with direct deposit to stop even a portion of this crap.
I agree. It’s really been no big deal for me. Haven’t had a check book in almost 7 years. Pay my bills on-line, payments come to me by direct deposit and never paid a fee to the credit union where I bank. I understand some people haven’t been able to get a checking account lately though because they now run a credit report and verify SS#’s and addresses. Of course I’m sure some of these same financial institutions also launder money - but that is another issue entirely.
Most checking accounts are free with direct deposit and they have online bill pay so you can pay your credit card bill with them
Checking debit cards do result in fees so I stick to a CC.
I assume this is to save money which it does.
My pay stub is electronic, and W2.
There is a problem with older disabled who cant use a computer trying to cope with this.
the rest of the world leapfrogged past cheques. They cost banks a lot to process and take ages compared to direct transfers. why africa even has mobile phone banking
I won’t have a stinking smart phone either!!!
I use a dumb phone and we have texting blocked on our phones, the dumbest thing ever thought of!
No god damn way will i use a debit card!
I’ve actually had that debit card for over a year now and the only fees are if you remove cash from the card at your bank. I do only one cash transaction a month at the bank so I do not pay any fees. If you use the card at the grocery store and get cash back there is no fee. Plus, any left over funds at the end of the cycle are not cleared out, the new amount is just added on.
The VA was pushing the Direct Deposit for travel pay benefits. Problem was that we can’t deposit on the Direct Xpress cards. So you either had to have a bank account or get a money card. Some vets have been unable to set up the cards because they can’t get the routing number without having online access. Since about December the VA has decided to continue to send checks.
I’ve had direct deposit since I first put on a uniform in the summer of 1972. It came in real handy in the fall of 1978 when the the government didn’t pay us and my bank made the deposit anyway out of their funds.
I won’t work for a company the doesn’t DD. Why wait in line? Why hassle with signing, waiting in line, and then put in a checking account where it has been (with DD) since midnight?
Good. That answers that question. Was wondering if they could just clear someone's funds out.
- Check now with your own bank now!
Banks are reporting on Tuesday December 3rd, 2013 that Direct Deposits of your Social Security payments for December 2013 are not being received from the US Treasury.
As of 10am EST banks are receiving huge amounts of telephone calls and internet site inquiries because their bank accounts are not receiving their regular Social Security Direct Deposit amount credited to their bank account.
- Caution - Obama has warned that US citizens may not receive their SS payments.
Obama and his incompetent thugs cannot set up and run a website after spending over six hundred million ($600,000,000) dollars to the relatives and friends of Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett to set up a website.
NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE - Rahm Emanuel - Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff
Where is the money golfer?
- Several states are now reporting that SS Direct Deposits are now being deposited at this time — I have some contacts looking into this now -
The lefties have designs on your 401K and IRA accounts - their master plan is for your retirement funds (and any inheritances) to be “invested” (grabbed/confiscated) by the US Treasury and they will happily dole out an amount they feel is “fair” return as American citizens are simply just too stupid to invest their retirement funds themselves.
