- Calling us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; or
- Visiting your local office.
You also can change or enroll in direct deposit through your financial institution by:

Calling or visiting your bank or credit union; or

If you live outside the United States, refer to Payments Outside the United States.
Note: If you apply for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income, you must get your payments electronically. If you did not sign up for electronic payments when you applied for benefits, we suggest you do so now. You must switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013.
