What type of places can someone have their social security checks sent to besides a bank and the Direct Express MC?

We are trying for two months now to get answers from the SSA but nothing. The issue is that the Direct Express card does not allow deposits of any kind to be made into that account. So we are wondering if there are other debit card type accounts that someone can have their SS sent to, and make deposits to as well from any other source. thank you

Update:

thanks to everyoen for answers. If wondering why not a regulaqr bank account, this is for my ministry, a small non tithing type of ministrty, the people I reach out to have nothing but closed doors , baloney from everyone's mouth, and death looking at them. Obama care removed care and recovery from them, and I cannot afford to have banks fees and illegal but constantly taken overdraft fees shut down this ministry because that means people die, point blank.

    Why don't you get a bank account like most people ? Or credit union.

    A regular bank checking account. You get a debit card with that.

    A credit union or some other financial institution. Call SSA with the routing # and your account #. Otherwise - nothing. You can't, for example, have your benefits sent to a creditor.

    Go to ssa.gov - it is covered there. If you don't find the answer instead of calling the 800#, visit your nearest SS office (address and hours also at ssa.gov).

    The government only allows checks to a bank account or direct express.

    This is because the government does want to jump through hoops making sure the account information is valid or following up when it's wrong.

    You can use another account that you can deposit money into. Direct Express wouldn't usually be your only account.
