How to update SSA direct deposit banking info? Tips needed!

Thank you so much for the detailed response! This is really helpful. I do have a my Social Security account, so I'll probably try to do it online. Do you know how long it took for your changes to be processed?

No problem! Happy to help. For me, the online change was processed pretty quickly - I think it took about 3-4 business days. But they say it can take up to 2 weeks, so don't panic if it's not immediate.

Just wanna add that I did mine over the phone and it took foreverrr to get through to someone. If u can do it online, def go that route!

Same here! The SSA website is so frustrating sometimes. It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something 💀

Yall need to chill. The website works fine most of the time. Just gotta be patient and try during off-peak hours.

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I'm skeptical. How do we know this isn't just some scam to get our info?

I get the skepticism, but I promise it's legit. Used it twice now and it worked like a charm both times. They don't ask for any personal info beyond your phone number to call you back.

You'll need to be her designated representative. There's a form for that - I think it's called SSA-1696. Fill that out first, then you can help her make the changes.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into that form. Appreciate the help 👍

Cmon man, they're not that bad. I've had mostly positive experiences with them.

Nah, just someone who doesn't like unnecessary negativity. But you do you, I guess.

In my experience, it didn't change the payment date. But it might delay the first payment to the new account by a few days while they verify everything.
