To receive deposits from the U.S. Treasury, unemployment agencies, or the Social Security Administration, you can set up directly within the Chime app:
- Tap Move > Set up direct deposit > Instant setup > Who pays you?
- Search for and select your benefits provider or government agency.
- Follow the prompts to sign in and complete setup.
Alternatively, you can set up directly with the benefits provider or government agency by adding your account and routing numbers by logging into their portal. Some government agencies may also ask for a voided check, the name of the bank, or the bank’s address. You can find this information in your completed direct deposit form.
Chime app:
- Tap Move > Set up direct deposit > Get direct deposit form.
- Log in at chime.com and click Profile at the top.
- Under Accounts, click Direct deposit setup.
- Click Get completed form. Chime will email you a completed direct deposit form as a PDF, along with a voided check if your employer requires it.
- Share the form with your employer or HR department to finalize setup.
If you haven’t received your completed direct deposit form, try the following:
- Check your spam or junk inbox for the email.
- Make sure the email associated with your Chime account is correct (this is where the form will be sent).
Note: When setting up your direct deposit with Social Security, you may be prompted to call or visit a local office to make the switch.
