How do I set up direct deposit for my Social Security check?

Direct deposit is the easy, worry-free way to have electronic deposits sent directly into your U.S. Bank checking or savings account. It's secure, convenient, and reliable. 
There are three ways to get the process started:

  • Go to godirect.gov to sign up online.
  • Call Go Direct at 800-333-1795.
  • Visit your local U.S. Bank branch or Social Security Administration office. 

You'll need to have your Social Security number and U.S. Bank checking/savings account and routing number available.

1. Once you've selected the desired account, select the Manage tab at the top.
2. Under Account services, choose Set up direct deposit.
