Marshall    People required to switch have the option of direct
deposit to a bank or credit union account or they can have their

account (Treasury's debit card program). Visit to learn more.
So, why the push for electronic payments instead of paper checks
received in the mail? There's a list of reasons an electronic
payment is better than an old-fashioned paper check.  It's
safer: no risk of checks being lost or stolen;    It's good for
the environment: it saves paper and eliminates the need for
physical transportation.  If you still get your check in the
mail, don't wait for the new rule to go into effect next year -
