By what method(s) may dependents receive death benefits?

The correct answer is based on how dependents can receive death benefits through reliable and established channels that ensure timely and secure transactions. Receiving benefits through mail ensures that the recipients have a physical copy of the documentation, and it is a traditional method that many are familiar with. On the other hand, direct deposit is a modern and efficient method, allowing funds to be transferred directly into the dependent’s bank account, minimizing delays and the risk of lost checks.

This combination of mail and direct deposit offers dependents flexible options to access the benefits they are entitled to in a secure and efficient manner.
