Imagine if someone took the regular check you be determined by? How could you survive? 

Every month about other national benefit checks and 12 million Social Security are mailed, many to seniors. When these checks get to mailboxes criminals know. Additionally they understand that every month many seniors venture out to money or deposit their checks. 

But seniors can outsmart them. 

"These days, it is crucial that seniors supply themselves with practical and information measures to help keep their monthly income safe," said Al Lenhardt, president and CEO of the National Crime Prevention Council, a leader in senior fraud prevention. 

So what can seniors do to protect themselves against economic violations? Usually, it's as easy as signing up for direct deposit. Throughout National Safety Month in June and throughout the year, the U.S. Office of the Treasury and the National Crime Prevention Council are urging individuals who receive Social Security and other federal benefits to join up for immediate deposit and avoid being a victim of identity theft, fraud or theft. 

Based on the Federal Trade Commission, not quite 25 million consumer fraud is experienced by Americans ( 11.2 percent of the adult population ) every year. Thieves and people usually produce scams that target seniors, making them a susceptible population. 

"One person was getting his check always taken many times, sometimes by his or her own family," said Sgt. Vince Higgins, a information officer with the Memphis Police Department who works closely with seniors. "Now that he's signed up for direct deposit, he's happy, he is confident-he's no further worried about where his money is or who's got his money. It's safe in his bank account." 

Sgt. Higgins and hundreds of other trusted sources like him are companions in Go Direct, a campaign sponsored by the Federal Reserve Banks and the Treasury to encourage Americans who get Social Security and other federal benefits checks to modify to the safer, easier option of direct deposit. 

Enrolling in direct deposit can offer much-needed reassurance to seniors, individuals with disabilities and other individuals who depend on Social Security. Primary deposit removes the chance of stolen checks and forgeries and helps protect individuals from identity theft. It also gives people more get a handle on over their money and allows immediate use of funds from virtually anywhere.
