In response to "they gain interest on the cash before you spend it. they maintain the money; it's not sent to you. that's something. -- nm" by amanda jones

not quite, they'll hire a bank (or group of banks) to be responsible for setting up the accounts and distributing the funds.

so the banks sit on the money, and get the interest, and Uncle Sam probably gets a nice upfront fee, as well as saving a bundle on printing costs.
