"Facts: Do Social Security Checks Still Go Through the Mail?
Less than 1% of Social Security recipients still receive their benefits through the USPS.
The Treasury announced in 2010 that they would begin phasing out the practice of sending physical checks through the mail. In 2013, the Social Security Administration announced they would begin the process of moving everyone to an electronic system.
As you can imagine, the federal government is so inefficient, that process is not fully completed. However, the number of checks that still go through the mail represent a very small percentage of recipients.
Nearly 550,000 people are receiving paper Social Security checks in August, according to Social Security Administration data,”
