Do I have to direct deposit my entire pay or government benefits check to my GO2bank account?

Most employers allow you to provide more than one account to receive your pay via direct deposit. If you’re not sure if your employer supports this, please check with your payroll department to confirm. You may also be able to set up your direct deposit allocation automatically through the GO2bank app or GO2bank.com. See "How do I set up direct deposit to receive my pay in my GO2bank account?" for more info.

If you enroll in direct deposit for Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Veterans Benefits, Federal Civil Service, or Unemployment benefits the entire amount of your benefit payment must be deposited to your GO2bank account. You can cancel the direct deposit of your federal government benefits at any time, but you cannot change the amount of your federal benefits direct deposit. See "How do I set up direct deposit to receive my government benefits in my GO2bank account? for more info on setting up direct deposit. Or contact your government benefits provider.
