Half A Million Using Treasury Direct

From what is labeled as a Department of the Treasury press release, but which sounds like it comes from Comerica Bank:

One year after introducing a low-cost prepaid debit card option for Social Security check recipients, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS) reports that more than half a million Americans have signed up for the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard®. According to a new survey of cardholders, 95 percent say they are satisfied with the card and 86 percent say they would recommend it to family members or friends who receive a federal benefit payment. ...

Treasury's financial agent - Dallas-based Comerica Bank - issues this nationally available card exclusively for payment of federal Social Security benefits. Americans currently receiving Social Security or SSI checks may sign up for the card by calling toll-free 1-877-212-9991, visiting www.USDirectExpress.com or talking to their local Social Security office.
