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 SSAs statutory annual
reporting requirement.
