Question: My Social Security check is mailed to me at my home.  I understand Social Security is offering a debit card to people who are not using direct deposit of their check.  Who will issue the cards and will there be any charge to use there debit cards?

 

Answer: Comerica Bank will issue the debit cards.  Card holders will receive one free ATM cash withdrawal per deposit per month; but Comerica Bank will charge $0.90 for each additional withdrawal at their ATM’s.  If you sign up for the Debit card.  There are money ATM’s where you can avoid surcharges.  ATM’s at 7-Eleven stores and PNC Banks are among those not charging for withdrawals.  You will need to check in your area for places you can use an ATM with no charge.  Other fees you will be charged are $0.50 for each online bill payment; $0.75 per month for paper statements, $3.00 for international ATM withdrawals and 3% on international currency exchanges.
