https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/modernizing-payments-to-and-from-americas-bank-I suppose electronic deposit can be set up without creating a connection with the bank on the Internet by simply giving them the information routing number and checking account number, so probably its not going to be that big of a deal but you only give people till the end of the month, ridiculous.
My initial reaction was what about the millions of senior citizens who certainly dont have digital banking, they dont have a account with the bank that they can control and review on the Internet or an app on your phone.
But I suppose They can set it up without that.
It is still step one, maybe a small step in figuring out a way to take our Social Security, in order to create chaos at a institution where they fired thousands of people so that work cant be done. Etc
But Im so glad so many people seem to have no worries at all about the most corrupt group of people on earth taking their Social Security eventually and their Medicare.
