Need to update your Social Security direct deposit information? In some states, that means a two-hour drive.

The Social Security Administration’s new anti-fraud policy could require nearly 2 million Americans to visit field offices each year to update their direct deposit information. This applies to anyone who cannot complete the agency’s online identity verification process. Phone-based updates are no longer accepted unless the caller has first verified their identity online.
