There are several other methods for enrolling in Direct Deposit. These methods are listed below. Method 1 is preferred, but we encourage you to choose the method best suited to your needs.

Formless or Paper Enrollment may be right for you

1. Simplified "Formless Enrollment" allows you to use your telephone or go online to enroll for Direct Deposit of your Federal benefits, Federal salary and employment related payments. Click here for more information on how to sign up for Direct Deposit via Go Direct.

2. Paper Enrollment (using a Direct Deposit Sign Up Form). If you are unable to use Formless Enrollment you may sign up for Direct Deposit by completing an enrollment form and submitting it by mail.
Regardless of whether, you wish to enroll by telephone or mail, or if you need to change your deposit to a new account or financial institution, you must complete a separate Direct Deposit enrollment/change request for each benefit payment you receive. In other words, if you happen to receive both a Social Security benefit and a Veterans Benefit, you will need to submit a Direct Deposit request for each benefit received.

To assist you in setting up (or changing) direct deposit for all of your benefit payments, please complete the questions below then click on the "Submit" button. We will provide you with the appropriate telephone numbers and/or mailing addresses for your unique benefit payments.
