The End of Paper Checks – A Silent Disaster in the Making
Starting September 30, 2025, the Social Security Administration will STOP mailing paper checks to roughly 400,000 Americans who still rely on the “old school” way to get their benefits.

The Biden administration touts this as “modernizing” federal payments and cracking down on fraud.

This policy could push checks out late, create errors, and even lead to missed rent or medicine bills. It’s not just inconvenience: it’s financial death for families living paycheck to paycheck on Social Security.
