120. Who issues Social Security benefits and SSI payments?

Social Security benefits and SSI payments are issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, not by SSA's processing centers. However, if you have any questions about your direct deposit or check, get in touch with a Social Security office.

Do the signature on the social security check have to be the same every time?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Ordinarily, I would assume the signature must be consistent.

Two "special cases" I can think of would be name changes and having a representative payee. Here's more information on those :

Social Security benefit recipients are encouraged to use Direct Deposit so funds are deposited directly in your bank with no need for a check.
