Tulsa Disability Lawyer: There Are Exemptions For Paperless Switch

With Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI or SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments switching to a paperless option on March 1, it is important for recipients to know that there are a couple of exemptions to the change.

Most people will be required to go to the paperless option; however, the following people are exempt:

  • People older than 91
  • People with mental issues that prevent them from being able to make the switch
  • People in rural areas without direct deposit capabilities

Since the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced benefits would go paperless, roughly 100,000 people have applied for an exemption.

A U.S. Treasury representative told Fox News that most of the people who have applied for the exemption are uncomfortable with the paperless change, and only a small percentage have actually been granted a waiver.

If you have not switched to the paperless option yet, you can switch by calling 1-800-333-1795 or visiting www.GoDirect.org.

If you have questions about applying for disability benefits or are unsure if you even qualify, contact a Tulsa Social Security Disability attorney. We offer free evaluations of your case, and you may reach us by phone at (918) 265-1404. Contact us today.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.
