<p>UC San Diego is asking for my checking account in order to use it as Direct Deposit, but it never specifies whether I could put my parents account, so I was wondering whether I could input my parents info? Thanks! </p>
<p>You should have your own account for direct deposit. The college wants to deposit your money into your account. If you don’t already have an account open one.</p>
<p>For pay purposes, any employers I worked for (as well as SS and my pension) have required an account in my name. It can be jointly held with someone else, but my name needed to be in the accounts.</p>
