Q. How will I get this payment?
A. Social Security will deliver your payment in one of the following ways:
* If you receive your Social Security or SSI benefit payment by direct deposit in your bank, the SSA will deposit the $250 one-time payment in your bank. Direct Deposit is the fast, safe and most reliable way to receive monthly Social Security benefits.
* If you get your Social Security or SSI benefit payment in the mail, SS will send your $250 one-time payment by mail.
OR
* If your benefit goes directly to your Direct Express debit card, Social Security will deposit the $250 one-time payment to your debit card. They'll send your one-time economic recovery payment separately from your Social Security or SSI benefit; it won't be included with your monthly benefit payment.
