The Social Security Administration does not like to use a personal payee representative when other avenues are available. This is because of fraud. They do investigate the need to have one and conduct yearly audits on the funds that are sent. It would not be a good idea to consider anyone for that position if they have been convicted of theft, fraud, forgery or abuse of elderly or disabled persons.

What considered fraud as SSDI Payee?

Examples of representative payee fraud include improper application for such position: for example, you cannot be a representative payee if you are a convicted felon in the state for which you are applying. Other forms of representative payee fraud include improper spending of the beneficiaries money for the payee's own needs instead of the beneficiary.

Contact your nearest Social Security office. They have all the necessary documents for you to fill out and/or verify. Your current payee does not need to be present, however the new payee does need to be present. Hope this helps.

If you are your niece's guardian and her father is the current payee for her Social Security survivor benefits how can you become her benefit payee?

The Social Security Administration has jurisdiction over appointing benefit payees for minor children and mentally disabled adults. You must contact the SSA to obtain information on what documentation is needed to apply for a change in payee status. Holding a POA or legal guardianship does not automatically confer the right of payee status, SS benefit distribution is a matter of federal law rather than state law.

Why does social security NOT recognize durable power of attorney?

The short answer is because they choose not to. It is frustrating and infuriating for those of us that are trying to assist our loved one in these complicated matters but the fact remains and there isn't much we can do about it. Social Security is a huge bureaucracy within the huge bureaucracy of the federal government = nothing is going to change within it without more bureaucracy! All that said, the "hoops" required by the Social Security Administration are for the protection of each individual social security recipient, which includes both my loved one and me. Therefore as I stomp out the Social Security office door I will choose for my sanity to be thankful my rights are in this instance being protected and not stomped on. The only person Social Security recognizes is the individual or their "representative payee". To become the representative payee visit the Social Security web site and follow the "red tape".....stomping optional.


What is the money collected by the FICA used for?

It is the tax that funds Medicare (1.45% by the payee) and Social Security (6.2% by the payee) - the medicare portion is paid on all income, whereas the social security piece is only paid until you reach the contribution limit, currently 102k, which is set by congress. The amounts contributed are paid equally by you and your employer, so the actual tax is twice the amount quoted above.


Can you open a checking account for your dad who is disabled and can not make it to the bank and deposit his retirement and social security checks for him every month?
