An individual applying to be a representative payee for a Social Security beneficiary or SSI recipient must first complete Form SSA-11-BK. SSA obtains information from applicant payees regarding their relationship to the beneficiary, personal qualifications, concerns for the beneficiary's well-being, and intended use of benefits if appointed as payee. The respondents are individuals, private sector businesses and institutions, and State and local government institutions and agencies applying to become representative payees.
There has been an increase in burden hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of representative payee applications taken.
