On Monday, July 14, the Social Security Administration announced that starting on September 30, 2025, they will no longer issue paper checks for benefit payments.

This transition will affect anyone who still is receiving paper checks for their social security benefit payments. If you still receive paper checks for your social security benefit payments, you should be receiving a notice from SSA to alert you of this change.

The electronic payment options include:

· Direct Deposit: Beneficiaries should enroll in direct deposit with their financial institution. Payments can be deposited directly into your checking or savings account.

· Direct Express® Card: For people without a bank account, the Direct Express card is a prepaid debit card designed specifically for federal benefit payments.

Make sure to set up a direct deposit to your bank account or sign up for a Direct Express® Debit Mastercard® before the deadline to avoid interruptions in your benefits.

You can update your payment information anytime through your personal my Social Security account online.

Please share this update with individuals or communities who may still be receiving paper checks.

What is home care?

Home care is a professional service for individuals who want to receive supportive care in the comfort of their own home. This care may include companionship, help with activities of daily living (ADLs), home health care for medical needs, or a combination of these.

Sometimes also known as in-home care or domestic care, home care may help seniors safely age in place and give family members peace of mind.

Personal care, or assistance with ADLs, is the most commonly used in-home care service. However, services are customized to meet an individual’s unique needs.

Here are examples of other popular nonmedical home care services:
- Help with errands, cooking, and housekeeping
- Incontinence care
- Mobility assistance
- Specialized care and supervision for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia or physical/mental disorders

Nonmedical in-home care services are usually provided by personal care aides. The role of a personal care aide is to provide companionship, assistance with personal hygiene tasks, and help with household chores.

Home health care services are provided by or under the direct supervision of licensed nurses and therapists. The role of home health care providers is to monitor a senior’s health and deliver skilled medical and rehabilitative care.

If you or a loved one or friend needs in home care services, give us a call at 412-408-3752 or email us at info@acaringhearthhc.com.

💡 Friday FAQ

📝 Q: Can home care preserve dignity better than a facility?

A: Absolutely. At home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and routines, seniors are more likely to feel confident, independent, and safe.

Effective Monday, June 16, 2025, the PA Consumer Service Center (Inspiritec) began accepting Long-Term Care (LTC) and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) applications over the phone.

Individuals can call 1-866-550-4355 to apply for Medicaid, including LTC and HCBS. This information can be found on the Apply for Benefits | Department of Human Services | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania page.

To communicate this change, the Department of Human Services (DHS) publicized this info with external stakeholders, posted banner messaging to multiple DHS web pages, added messaging to the Statewide Customer Service Center (CSC) wait time menu, and shared this information internally.

DHS also provided Consumer Service Center staff with additional information needed to accurately capture information specific to LTC and HCBS applications.

Questions regarding this initiative can be directed to the DHS Helpline at 800-692-7462.

Spread the Word!

Help raise awareness about veteran scams and exploitation.

Veterans may be eligible for benefits from the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These may include a VA pension and other benefit payments.

Unfortunately, veterans are targets of financial scams and unscrupulous people seeking to profit from the benefits veterans have earned through their military service. With nearly 700,000 veterans in Pennsylvania, and half over age 60, many are at risk.

The DMVA connects veterans and their beneficiaries with free and safe assistance when applying for benefits. Together, we can reduce the likelihood of scams, fraud, and exploitation against those who have served, to safeguard this population.

You can access the Pension Poaching Toolkit (https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmva/pennsylvania-veterans/special-initiatives/pension-poaching.html), filled with educational materials for you and your community to print and post, or continue sharing electronically.
