Abstract: Sections 205(j) and 1631(a)(2) of the Social Security Act state that a representative payee may be appointed to receive benefits on behalf of an individual entitled to Title II benefits and/or Title XVI payments when that individual is unable to manage or direct the management of those funds. The representative payee is required to report to SSA at least once per year on how those funds received have been used or conserved. When a representative payee fails to adequately report to SSA as required, SSA will conduct a face-to-face interview with the payee and complete an SSA-624, Representative Payee Evaluation Report, in order to determine the continued suitability of the representative payee to serve as a payee. The respondents are individuals and organizations serving as representative payees for Title II and Title XVI recipients who fail to comply with SSA’s statutory annual reporting requirement.
