 Important Information from Go Direct

Pen Air Federal Credit Union would like to pass on this message from Go Direct, our ACH payment association:

The Treasury Department is phasing out paper check payments and requiring federal benefit recipients to get their money electronically by March 1, 2013.  Recipients can choose to get payments by Direct Deposit via ACH to a bank or credit union account, or to a Direct Express Debit MasterCard card account. 

• Already getting federal benefit payments by paper check? Switch today! You must switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013. Switch now or learn more.
• Retiring or applying for federal benefits soon? Be ready. You will get your money electronically from day one. Be ready to choose direct deposit or the Direct Express® card when you fill out your application. Learn more.

If you do not choose an electronic payment option by March 1, 2013, you will receive your payments via the Direct Express® card so you will not experience any interruption in payment.

If you are already receiving your federal benefit payments electronically, this change will not affect you.

For more information and complete details, go to http://godirect.org/.
