SSDI Debit Card Replacement: Since bank cards are now an essential part of our everyday existence, losing one is a pain. Welfare program recipients are not an exception, as their debit card is nearly always their only means of accessing their money. Thankfully, replacing something is not as hard as it might appear.
The Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Direct Express card is used by many SSDI and SSI users to access their benefits. One benefit for customers is that they can get the Direct Express card without having a bank account.
All federal program payments made with this card are transferred electronically right into the beneficiary’s account. The majority of issues with paper checks are resolved by this.
Still, everyone can experience the unfortunate event of misplacing their Direct Express card. If so, simply follow these instructions to obtain a replacement.
You can get a new card through the USDirectExpress.com website or the mobile app if you lose or forget the old one. You can also call the free customer service number on the back of your card.

Someone in charge will help you with your request. Make sure you have your account information on hand to speed up the process. After you fill out the form to get a new card, it will be sent to you by regular mail in seven to ten days.
Remember that you are eligible for one free replacement every year. For every extra repair you need in a given year, you will have to pay $4.
Always keep your Direct Express card secure as it’s the most effective method to access your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) funds. On the other hand, you know that getting a replacement will be simple and rapid in case of an issue.
