I receive checks direct deposited to my bank. Must I still notify Social Security that I have moved to a new address?
Yes. Social Security needs your correct mailing address to send you notices and other correspondence about your benefits even if you receive your checks directly deposited to your bank.
You can change your address online by answering a series of questions that have to match Social Security records. You can also change your address on the Internet if you have established a permanent password.
If you would like to get a password, you can apply online or you can call 1-800-772-1213. A change of address also may be reported to Social Security’s local Field Offices. Addresses and telephone numbers of these offices may be obtained from the Social Security Office Locator.
