Features of the Direct Express Program

This is very similar to an EBT used for SNAP benefits.

Each month recipients’ funds are loaded onto the prepaid MasterCard to be used anywhere that accept MasterCard CC’s: grocery stores, gas stations, healthcare offices, drug stores and pharmacies, restaurants and department stores.

Although cardholders cannot add more money to their debit cards, they can get cash back when they make a purchase, this money is simply deducted from the total balance remaining.

With Direct Express access to my account, people receiving federal funds for Social Security Disability or any government assistance can easily check their balance, see transactions and set alerts for low balance and find the nearest ATM machine.

Unlike traditional CC’s you can’t spend more than what’s on the debit card, so it is important to be mindful of your account balance.

In addition to the phone app recipients can set up a Direct Express card login.

There are many other comparable programs and prepaid debit options offered by the US Treasury, one related is the Go Program Way2GoCard.
