VA Now Offering Direct Express® card to Veterans Receiving Medical Benefits
October 20, 2015
VA is now offering the Direct Express® card to Veterans receiving medical benefits. Just like electronic fund transfers (EFT) directly to bank accounts, deposits to the Direct Express card are safer and faster than paper checks.
- Anyone receiving VHA medical benefits can enroll
- No bank account needed
- Payments are automatically deposited to your Direct Express® card
- Use your card anywhere debit MasterCard® is accepted
- Recommended by the U.S. Department of the Treasury
Visit the Agent Cashier on the first floor to sign up. You will be asked to complete a short form authorizing direct deposit to your financial institution, or to your Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card.
For more information, please visit www.godirect.org or contact the Agent Cashier at 713-794-7498.
