My mother-in-law called the Boise office of SSA to change her direct deposit, and got an absolutely rude man after her wait of almost an hour. SSA people interact with older folks all the time and you would think if one calls they could at least be civil. The guy should take a time out and possibly not come back unless his attitude changes. He didn't give his name for good reason, because I would have called back and talked to his supervisor.

The lady that helped us was very good. She was the only one who seemed to care about us as people.

I have had to walk in a few times, and the wait is never long. I worked with Mersiha who went above and beyond in her help for my children's needs.

How do I change the bank account that my benefits go into

Elizabeth Frisby | Oct 5, 2021
Allen Turley | Oct 5, 2021

I think the way that you do it, is first you fill out a direct deposit form that you get from Social Security with your new account information. Then I believe he would have to speak to a representative in person, request that the bank account that you were getting your benefits in to be removed, and the new account be put in its place.

I would just be thankful for what you have, instead of upset for what you don't. They don't have to give anything, even if you think that they do. Much luck, and God Bless.
