Recipients of cash benefits can get their benefits deposited onto their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card or have them deposited directly into their bank account.
Direct Deposit is the safest way to receive your benefits.
To enroll in Direct Deposit:
Ensure the account you want to use is in your name
Complete the form W-682 (English) or W-682S (Spanish)
Mail the completed form, along with a voided check or bank statement to:
DSS Scanning Center
PO Box 1320
Manchester, CT 06045
If submitting a bank statement, make sure the account number is clearly visible.
Generally, the Direct Deposit process can take up to two months to take effect. During that time you will continue to receive your cash benefits on your EBT card.
If you are currently enrolled in Direct Deposit and wish to opt out, you may do so at any time. Send us a written notice of your desire to cancel, mailed to the address above.
