Over 500,000 Social Security checks come in the mail

I am a retired Social Security employee and I thought that all checks were now electronic. I was surprised to find out that so many checks were mailed. It’s a small percentage of a huge volume. This came to my attention as part of the discussion on Trump’s efforts to damage mail-in voting.

Some conservatives are accusing Obama and other Democrats of lying for saying some people rely on the mail for Social Security checks.

They aren't. Though 99.1% do direct deposit, the 0.9% still getting mail checks is 549,818 people. https://t.co/49pl5uS6ix

Again: it is *not* true Social Security completely stopped mailing paper checks in 2013. Again: more than 549,000 people get paper Social Security checks this month, per official data (https://t.co/49pl5uS6ix); including SSI, it's "nearly 850,000" paper checks a month. pic.twitter.com/LOeBrVuTyf
