Federal aid to be issued electronically to many recipients
Treasury proposes rules to switch federal payments from paper checks to electronic transfers after next year. Waivers would ease access for the disabled and those with hardships, and about 10 million without bank accounts could use low cost electronic transfer accounts. The program stems from a 1996 law with 44 million Social Security payments, and 65 percent are already electronic.
