I moved my Social Security account out of banks and into Direct Express. This is supposedly an [View all]

account in the Feds Social Security account. In other words - directly from the SS account to me. What I learned is that the money is still in some bank down in Texas.

What I want to know (if any one knows): How is this money invested? Because it is in a bank is it still being gambled with like a regular savings account would be? Would it be better invested in a Credit Union?
