The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)<\/strong> stated that, to protect Americans on Social Security benefits<\/strong>, SSA<\/strong> will no longer accept changes to bank accounts information over the phone.<\/p>\n

However, DOGE<\/strong> has informed citizens that it will be possible to do it but with more security. So, you will be able to change your direct deposit<\/strong> if you need to, but fraudsters will not be able to do so.<\/p>\n

DOGE shows the latest figures related to Social Security fraudsters<\/h2>\n

Approximately, 40 percent of Social Security<\/strong> direct deposit<\/strong> fraud has to do with a fraudster calling SSA<\/strong> on the phone. Once they call, their aim is to change the direct deposit bank account from the correct one to a fraudulent one.<\/p>\n

This was possible because it was possible to do so with little to no authentication. DOGE<\/strong> claims that from March 29 onward, in order to change the direct deposit bank account<\/strong>, there will be more security measures.<\/p>\n

DOGE<\/strong> informs Americans on Social Security<\/strong> benefits that they will be able to change it in person<\/strong> at a Social Security Service Center or they will be able to change it online using 2FA “(Call Center Technicians available to assist beneficiaries with website)”.<\/p>\n

DOGE claims all phone services remain unchanged<\/h2>\n

Do not worry because all the other phone services will remain unchanged. Anyway, most people do not need to change and update their Social Security bank account<\/strong> information regularly.<\/p>\n

What is more, the new way to protect your direct deposit bank account is the method most banks use. So, DOGE<\/strong> reminds citizens that it is identical to the fraud protections at almost all major banks in the United States.<\/p>\n

Hence, you will only be able to update your direct deposit bank account in person or online. Besides, DOGE<\/strong> has completed a software audit of SSA<\/strong> with initial findings revealing that there are redundant survey tools, and that the Agency is paying more licenses than it is really using.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
