I don't know about BofA specifically, but all of my accounts allow more than 1 source of direct deposit. I'm also able to direct deposit into my wife's account that she uses for hers.

Is she allowed to enter the checking account info and routing from this account? I'm sorry this sounds like a very stupid question and I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!!
It is most likely only has your dad's name when you log in because you're using his login information.
I don't remember the specifics of which bank it was (20 years ago and may have changed by now) required SSN (from direct deposit) to match account owner.
If your mom can legally sign her name to write a check from the account in question, she should be able to receive direct deposits into the same account.
