Nicole Zachary Testimonial
By Nicole Zachary, Graduate of the First Class of the Urban Youth Empowerment Program

In June of 2004, I graduated from high school and was looking for something constructive to do with my time. I was under employed as a movie theater attendant.

The Urban League would like to encourage you to GO DIRECT!

Go Direct is a national campaign designed to motivate more Americans to select direct deposit for their federal benefit payments, such as Social Security and SSI. Direct Deposit is safer than mailing checks and it's easier than checks, becuase people who get benefits don't need to go to the bank or credit union to deposit a check. Moreover, payment goes straight into an individual's account on payment day each month, giving people more control over their money. Finally, it also helps the government to save money on postage, processing fees and checks. For more information about Go Direct and to sign up right away, visit www.GoDirect.org.
