I am writing to request the direct deposit of my Social Security checks into my bank account. As a resident of Alabama, I believe that opting for direct deposit would be beneficial in terms of convenience, security, and efficiency. I am currently receiving Social Security benefits via physical checks, which I manually deposit into my bank account. However, due to the following reasons, I would like to switch to the direct deposit method: 1. Convenience: Having the funds deposited directly into my account would eliminate the need for me to physically go to the bank each time to deposit my check. Moreover, it would save me from potential delays caused by unexpected circumstances like bad weather or transportation issues. 2. Security: Direct deposit offers enhanced security by eliminating the possibility of lost or stolen checks. By requesting direct deposit, I can reduce the risk of my Social Security funds being mishandled or misplaced during the mailing process. 3. Efficiency: The direct deposit method ensures that funds are available immediately on the payment date. This eliminates any waiting period associated with postal delays, ensuring timely access to my benefits. I hereby authorize the Social Security Administration to deposit my Social Security checks directly into my bank account. Below, I have provided the necessary information to initiate the direct deposit: — Name: [Your Full Name— - Social Security Number: [Your SSN] — Bank Name: [Your Bank Name— - Bank Routing Number: [Your Bank Routing Number] — Bank Account Number: [Your Bank Account Number] Please confirm the receipt of this request in writing, along with any additional paperwork or forms that may be required to process the setup of direct deposit.

I hope to transition to the direct deposit method as soon as possible.
