Disaster Preparedness Tool Kit
When severe weather strikes, evacuations and mail disruptions can prevent people who receive federal benefit payments by paper check from getting their money on time. Urge federal benefit check recipients to protect their money from severe weather and other natural disasters by switching now to electronic payments.
