Bronx, NY – The Federal Government has announced that as of September 30, 2025, paper checks for federal payments—including tax refunds and Social Security payments (SSA, SSI)—will be permanently phased out in favor of electronic payments.
To ensure a smooth transition, RiteCheck has partnered with its bank to offer customers a reliable way to continue accessing their funds quickly and conveniently. Through this service, RiteCheck will receive the customer’s federal electronic payment and issue a printed check that can be cashed immediately at any RiteCheck location.
“At RiteCheck, our goal is to make sure our customers are never left behind,” said a RiteCheck spokesperson. “The federal shift to electronic payments may feel overwhelming for many, but we’ve built a simple, secure solution so people can continue receiving and cashing their payments with confidence.”
Benefits of RiteCheck’s Electronic Payment Service:
- Faster access to funds – up to four days earlier than traditional methods
- Automatic enrollment with SSA/SSI direct deposit (no need to visit Social Security office)
- No bank account or credit check required
- Safe and secure – eliminates the risk of lost or stolen checks
