Note: Starting September 30, 2025, the U.S. government will stop issuing paper checks for benefits such as Social Security, VA benefits, child support, unemployment, and others. If you still get a check in the mail, you will need to set up direct deposit to continue receiving your benefits.
To receive deposits from the U.S. Treasury, unemployment agencies, or the Social Security Administration, you’ll need to give your routing and account numbers to the agency or payer. 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.
To do this in-app:
Go to Move Money.
Tap Get completed form.
On Chime.com:
Click your name in the upper right corner, then go to Settings.
Click Direct deposit setup.
Click Get completed form.
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).
