Hi DoninGA,
I’m a GA boy too.
The information in
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm967 applies to Social Security recipients who did not file tax returns for 2018 or 2019. I filed my tax return for 2019 in January, 2020. Therefore, it is not clear that this press release applies to me. I hope it does, but I could use some reassurance.

My assumption is that if you filed a 2019 tax return and you either had no taxes owed or had taxes owed then the stimulus will be sent to the same bank account as your SS monthly payment.
Or if you had a tax refund on the 2019 tax return that was filed and you selected direct deposit for the federal tax refund, the stimulus payment will be deposited to the same account as the federal tax refund. So either way you will receive the stimulus as a direct deposit.
If have filed my 2019 federal tax return with taxes owed and selected direct debit from my bank account with a date in July for the account to be debited. Since I also receive SS benefits, my stimulus payment will be sent to the same account as the SS monthly payments.
