Soon the government check won't be in the mail

       This article is about starting next year on May 1, 2011 people wont be able to get their social security number or other check benefits by mail. Those who have social security number will have to make it by credit card or by deposit. The switch by electronic will be resolved by people worrying if someone has stolen their checks or if they have arrived. Every year the government receives over 600,000 claims for lost or stolen checks. In addition the government has decided that people who are 90 years old and over and are still gettting their social security number will receive the same benifits the same way. The government estimates that it will be over 275,000 who fall in this category. The people that don't have acoounts such as bank or credit will give them the option by allowing them to use Direct express that is issued by Comerica Bank.
     In my opinion having this policy made by next year is good because their will be less social security numbers stolen by people. This could make the rate decrease and there could be chances that the people are going to get their checks more secure. It is true that when you get your check by mail you have chances that someone could still your check and then you have to worry how you will pay the rent or how are you going to survive. You may not know but you are surronded by people who are thiefs, where ever you go  there will always be a person that is going to steal something from you. For example: MONEY OR CHECKS.
