Go Direct notes switch to epayments near

The federal Go Direct campaign is encouraging partners and all financial institutions to remind their recipients of federal recurring payments that those payment have to go electronically beginning March 1 – just three weeks from now.

Go Direct notes three ways for recipients to sign up for electronic payments:

  • by calling 800-333-1795, the U.S. Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Center (call volume is high currently);
  • online at GoDirect.org;
  • at a local credit union or bank.

Individuals who don't have a financial institution account can handle the switch to electronic benefit payments by getting a Direct Express? card (read more).

Credit unions can get a toolkit of materials for promoting the switch in the partners section atthe Go Diret website.
