It's quick and easy to sign up for the card. Call the toll - free Direct Express hotline at 1 - 800 - 333 - 1795. Social Security can help you sign up.
I see. And what exactly can this card do for me?
The Direct Express card is a debit card you can use to access your benefits. And you don't need a bank account, we deposit your federal benefit payment directly into your card account.
Sounds great. So do I need to contact my bank for direct deposit or is there another viable option?
