State Mental Institution Policy Review

SSA makes annual grants to the Protection and Advocacy Agencies (P&A) in each state to conduct, for SSA, all representative payee reviews. The collection of this information is mandatory for the completion of onsite reviews of State mental institutions. The P&As use Form SSA-9584-BK to collect information during State mental institutions onsite reviews. The P&As use the SSA-9584-BK to: (1) to determine if the policies and practices of a State mental institution acting as a representative payee for SSA beneficiaries conform to SSA’s regulations in the use of benefits; (2) to confirm that institutions are performing other duties and responsibilities required of representative payees; and (3) as the basis for conducting onsite reviews of the Institutions and preparing subsequent reports of findings. The respondents are State mental institutions serving as representative payees for Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients.
