It’s easy to get your Social Security or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits directly deposited into your account.
If you are currently receiving benefits and you have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account:
- Use online banking to start or change Direct Deposit (Social Security benefits only), or
- Contact a Martha’s Vineyard Bank representative for assistance, or
- Call Social Security toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), or
- Visit your local Social Security office
If you are not currently receiving benefits but plan to apply:
Tell the Social Security representative when you apply for benefits that you want to sign up for Direct Deposit. If you already have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account, have your checkbook or a copy of your bank statement with you.
You can download a direct deposit form on the Martha's Vineyard bank Switch Kit page.
