Direct Deposit FAQ's
What is direct deposit?
Direct deposit delivers your Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit into your credit union's account quickly and safely. The U.S. Treasury sends an electronic message to your credit union crediting your account with the exact amount of your Social Security or SSI benefit. You can withdraw money, put some in savings or pay bills-the things you do with your money now. The difference is, your check isn't printed or mailed.

The benefits of using direct deposit are:
- There are no checks to be lost or stolen.
- You'll get your benefits on time, even if you're out of town, sick or unable to get to Patriot.
- Both you and your money are safe.

Where do I sign up for direct deposit?
If you already have a checking or savings account, ask a Patriot Representative about direct deposit. They'll be glad to help you. Be sure to take your credit union statement or personal check, and your Social Security number when you go to sign up.
You can also call the Social Security toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). When you call Social Security, they will need to determine your identity by asking you a few questions. They will also need your credit union information and your Social Security number.
Or, you click here to visit the Social Security website and access their online forms.

How do I know when my money is in my account so I can pay my bills?
Your money is deposited on the day you're scheduled to receive your benefit. For example, if you usually receive your benefit on the third of the month, your money is available to you at the opening of the business day on the third. You can check with your credit union to be sure that your money has been deposited.
>>Back to Top
When can I use my money?
Your money is available for use as soon as it is deposited into your account. You can write checks, pay bills, withdraw money or put some into savings. Anything you usually do with your money now, you can also do with direct deposit.
