Major Change Coming: Paper Checks to End by September 30, 2025

March 2025 presidential directive has mandated the complete elimination of paper checks for federal benefit payments, including:

  • SSDI
  • SSI
  • Social Security Retirement
  • Tax refunds
  • Federal vendor payments

By September 30, 2025, all payments must be made electronically. The move is based on three main reasons:

  1. Security: Paper checks are 16x more likely to be lost or stolen.
  2. Cost: The paper check system costs the U.S. government nearly $750 million annually.
  3. Efficiency: Electronic payments are faster and more reliable.

Nearly 485,000 Americans Still Using Paper Checks

As of June 2025485,000 beneficiaries—mostly elderly or unbanked—still depend on paper checks.

If they fail to switch to an electronic payment method by the deadline, they may face delayed or withheld benefits.

Here’s What You Can Do:

  1. Direct Deposit to a bank account is the fastest and safest method.
  2. Use the Direct Express® Debit Mastercard®, a prepaid card designed for those without traditional banking access.
  3. Sign up online via SSA.gov, call SSA, mail a form, or visit your local Social Security office.
  4. For Direct Express and other bankless options, visit GoDirect.gov.

Are There Any Exemptions?

Yes, but they are limited. You may qualify for an exemption if:

  • You live in an unbanked or remote area
  • You have a documented emergency or medical condition

To apply, you’ll need to formally request an exception through both the Department of the Treasury and SSA, along with supporting documentation.

If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th, your SSDI deposit is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, July 16th.

Take a moment to verify your banking details to ensure smooth processing. Also, with the phase-out of paper checks by September 30, now is the time to act.

Make the switch to direct deposit or a Direct Express card and avoid any disruptions to your essential benefits.

Staying informed and prepared will ensure that your SSDI payments are secure, on time, and hassle-free moving forward.
