Paper Checks Eliminated for Federal Benefit Payments

Examples of federal government paper checks

After Sept. 30, 2025 the federal government will stop issuing paper checks for benefit payments including Social Security, veterans’ benefits, and other federal disbursements. The change is part of a federal initiative to reduce costs, improve security, and streamline payment delivery.

To avoid delays, we encourage all customers to ensure they have switched to direct deposit to avoid delays in receiving any federal disbursements they are due.

We also urge you to check in with friends or family members who may not be aware of this change or who might need help opening an account. As always, please reach out to your GRB branch team members if you have questions or need further assistance.
