Social Security Administration
Representative Payee Report
Why You Received
This Form

We must regularly review how representative payees,
including parents stepparents, and grandparents with custody
of minor children, used the benefits they received on behalf
of the Social Security and/or Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) beneficiaries. We do this to ensure the benefits are
used properly. When you were appointed representative
payee, you were informed of the duties and responsibilities
of a representative payee, including keeping records and
reporting on the use of benefits.

What You Need To Do

You must report to SSA on your use of benefits if you
received any Social Security and/or SSI payments during the
12 month period shown on the enclosed form. You must do
this if you wish to continue receiving benefits on behalf of
another person. You should use the records you have saved
to answer the questions on the enclosed form.
The name(s) of the child(ren) we are asking about are shown
in item 3 on the form. If you receive benefits for children
not named in item 3, we will send you another form. Use
this form only for the child(ren) named in item 3.
