Social Security Checks Again Arriving Early in Gulf Coast States as
\nHurricane Ike Approaches <\/p>\n
Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, announced that
\nbenefit checks are being delivered to Gulf Coast residents on Tuesday,
\nbefore the anticipated arrival of Hurricane Ike and one day ahead of
\nthe regular payment date. More than 40,000 people in Texas, Louisiana,
\nMississippi, Alabama and Florida will receive their Social Security
\nchecks September 9th, rather than on Wednesday, the regularly
\nscheduled payment day. At the end of August, the Social Security
\nAdministration took similar action to arrange for early delivery of
\nnearly 400,000 checks ahead of Hurricane Gustav. <\/p>\n
“Hurricane Ike, the second major storm to threaten the area in the
\nlast two weeks, has led Social Security to take the critically
\nimportant step of sending early payments to people all along the Gulf
\nCoast,” said Commissioner Astrue. “People in these states who may not
\nreceive their checks early should not ignore evacuation instructions
\nsimply to wait for their payments. Anyone who does not receive a
\nregularly scheduled payment from Social Security as a result of the
\nhurricane can go to any open Social Security office and request an
\nimmediate payment. To find the nearest open Social Security office,
\ncall 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). In the future, beneficiaries
\nshould be mindful that Direct Deposit is a more secure and convenient
\nway to receive payments, particularly when natural disasters strike.” <\/p>\n
Social Security has worked closely with the U.S. Postal Service and
\nthe Department of the Treasury to make the early delivery of checks
\npossible. People living in areas with the following first three digits
\nin their zip codes will receive early delivery: <\/p>\n
Alabama 364-366 <\/p>\n
Florida 323-325 <\/p>\n
Louisiana 700-714 <\/p>\n
Mississippi 393-395 <\/p>\n
Texas 770-779, 781 and 783-785 <\/p>\n
The Department of the Treasury, through the Federal Reserve, has
\nencouraged financial institutions in the Gulf Coast states to honor
\nthe paper checks as well as consider making Direct Deposit payments
\navailable as early as Tuesday, September 9th. The federal government
\nhas requested this for people in the affected states, but it is up to
\nindividual banks to choose to make these Direct Deposit funds
\navailable early. <\/p>\n
