Social Security Administration to require in-person identity checks for new and existing recipients

[SKY]

Not true. You can change your direct deposit bank and/or your address on your ssa.gov account. You don't have to go to an office. The problem is that for persons who are not computer literate or do not have computer access, that they can now not make these changes by phone. They have to go to an office and, in some cases, offices are closed. You're right about the last point.

That is exactly what I said before. You need the SSA account. I started this thread with that..........

Ufff

The lack of comprehension is exhausting

This Sky guy has done more flips than a circus clown with something that has never changed, other than asking for physical verification at a field office, in the event, that it can't be done online for DD issues - that's all folks.

Let us see the twist now...

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is taking proactive steps to enhance the security of its services by implementing stronger identity verification procedures. The updated measures will further safeguard Social Security records and benefits against fraudulent activity. Over the next two weeks, SSA will carefully transition to stronger identity proofing procedures for both benefit claims and direct deposit changes. Individuals seeking these services who cannot use their personal my Social Security account, which requires online identity proofing, will then need to visit a local Social Security office to prove their identity in person. At the same time, the agency will expedite processing all direct deposit change requests – both in person and online – to one business day. Prior to this change, online direct deposit changes were held for 30 days.
