Forgive me if I am incorrect, its been years since I have used it, but don't you need to link a bank account and social security number to receive money from Adsense?
- tomca32 4y agoYou could just get a check mailed. I lived in Europe then and got a check that I cashed at my bank. I didn’t have a SSN, so but maybe US citizens had to provide it. Granted this was 15 or so years ago so things might have changed since then.

- aliqot 4y agoFor a while they just mailed paper checks on any month when the 100 USD minimum threshold was passed. If they didn't get cashed they'd send threatening letters about 'escheatment'. I think that stopped at some point about 10yrs ago. Not sure about what happened after.
