In this way, <strong>RSDI<\/strong> (Retirement, Survivor, and Disability) and other recipients will be safer.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Agency has realized that there are potential threats, it is going to strengthen and protect all American recipients. Almost 40% of fraud associated to direct deposits is linked to someone calling to change <strong>direct deposit bank information.<\/strong> Asking identifying questions does not seem to be enough.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do if you want Social Security to change your bank account information<\/h2>\n<p>If a <strong>Social Security<\/strong> recipient needs to update their bank account information on the Agency&#8217;s record, they will be able to do it through two different methods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>visit a local Social Security office to prove your identity<\/li>\n<li>use a 2-factor authentication through &#8220;<em>my Social Security<\/em>&#8221; online account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Administration believes that these are the most secure methods since most banks follow these security measures to prevent scams and fraud from happening. What is more, <strong>all other SSA phone services remain unchanged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Social Security payments left in March 2025<\/h2>\n<p>Another important thing for <strong>Social Security<\/strong> recipients is the fact that there are 2 paydays left in March. The maximum payment amount for retirees will be up to $5,108 and the average payment about<strong> $1,978<\/strong>. The next payment date will be<strong> March 19<\/strong>, 2025. to get it you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>have been on Social Security after April 30, 1997, not before<\/li>\n<li>not be receiving Supplemental Security Income, commonly known as SSI<\/li>\n<li>meet the birth date requirement: born from 11-20<\/li>\n<li>not break SSA rules<\/li>\n<li>remain eligible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apart from the March 19 payment, eligible beneficiaries will collect a new check or direct deposit on<strong> March 26<\/strong>. This will be the payday for those retirees, survivors, and SSDI recipients who were born from the 21st to the 31st and began getting benefits after April 30, 1997. <strong>SSDI<\/strong> payments are about<strong> $1,580<\/strong> on average and survivors about $1,546.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Social Security Administration, in order to eliminate the risk of fraud related to updating bank account information by telephone, is increasing its protection.
