Dependents may receive death benefits by what method(s)?

Dependents may receive death benefits through multiple convenient methods, specifically via mail or direct deposit. This is the most inclusive and practical choice, as it allows for timely and secure distribution of funds.

Using direct deposit is particularly beneficial because it ensures that funds are quickly transferred into a bank account, minimizing delays and providing greater access to resources when they are most needed. The mail option also offers a traditional route for payment delivery, accommodating those who may not have bank accounts set up for electronic transfers.

Other possible options like hand delivery or bank transfer only may limit the methods available to dependents, which can create unnecessary complications or delays in receiving essential benefits. Therefore, allowing for both mail and direct deposit support ensures that dependents have reliable ways to access their benefits efficiently.
