Paper checks from the federal government are about to be a thing of the past.
Starting today, the Treasury Department plans to stop them for most payments, including Social Security.
The White House says the move is meant to modernize payments, save money, and fight financial fraud.
The change also affects how the IRS issues tax refunds.
