The Social Security Administration announced on Wednesday that it will no longer require all beneficiaries to switch to electronic payments by October 1, reversing a decision made just weeks earlier.

The change will primarily affect a small group of beneficiaries who have not made the switch to electronic payment methods yet, per the SSA. Less than 1% of beneficiaries are enrolled in paper checks and are encouraged to enroll in direct deposit or opt for the Direct Express card to receive their monthly benefits on time.
