Florida’s Hurricane Season Promotes Social Security Direct Deposit

Florida is currently underway for the hurricane season and Michael J. Astrue, the Commissioner of Social Security, is encouraging people to sign up for direct deposit before the first storm hits Florida. In the event of severe weather on top of not being able to work, your Social Security disability benefits may be essential.

On a normal basis, direct deposit is convenient and ensures your payment is received quicker but when a natural disaster strikes, the benefits are even greater. During a hurricane or any other severe storm, you can still have access to your funds if you have them deposited electronically into your account.

Commissioner Astrue also reports that 87% of beneficiaries are currently using direct deposit. They have already learned the benefits to this option and will be ready when any storm hits.

Anyone receiving social security checks must switch to direct deposit by March 1, 2013 and as of May 1, 2011, any new beneficiaries will automatically receive their social security payments electronically.

If you have questions concerning eligibility, how to complete the paperwork or wish to appeal a claim that has been denied, then you should immediately speak with a Miami-Dade County Social Security disability lawyer.
