Disabled brother's SSI disability direct deposit payments?

My brother is 57 and is on SSI disability and Medicare. He has been receiving his monthly benefits cheque but now it must be transferred to a direct deposit format. I am his rep payee, legal gdn, atty-in-facy as well as his eldest brother. Both our parents and all our grandparents are deceased.

I went to our bank and the lady assured me that all that needed to be done had been done when we opened a separate chequing acct in his name alone with me as rep payee. That was in mid 2012. I asked another bank teller this month and she said that the SSI folks at the local office here in Lebanon County PA were responsible. They told me to file a form which I did last year.

I filed online and via the US Mail. I contacted our local senators and representatives in Congress and Harrisburg PA. All assured me everything was OK and it just took a little time. I finally went to the social security website and found out that he is still listed as receiving his benefits by cheque!

If I phone these morons I will tell them exactly what I think of them because as a Gael my temper is hot and we always tell the truth no matter what! How the Hell do I get these baka idiots in Harrisburg and Washington DC to get off their asses and help us? I would like an answer asap please. keiman0 AT yahoo.com is my email address. Thanks I hope- keimanzero in Campbelltown (Palmyra) PA.

Yes, as you indicate, you should be able to start direct deposit online. Here is the link for that :

Note you are required by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013. The following site may assist you with this :
