Pay Your Social Security Debt By Credit Card

Social Security is now making it possible to use credit cards to pay debts to the agency. At least, I was unaware that this had been possible.

  1. This is nothing new.

  2. The ability to pay debts by credit card charges has existed for a long time.

    What is new is being able to enter into an installment agreement with the monthly installments being automatically charged to a credit card. Previously, each charge required a signature. Now, they can do an installment agreement with one signature for the agreement.

  3. As stated above, the ability to pay by credit card has been in place for a while. But I can't figure out why someone would choose this. SSA is very accomodating to interest free installment payments so why would you want to pay interest to the credit card company?
