Sections 205(j) and 1631(a)(2) of the
Social Security Act state SSA may appoint a representative payee 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 themselves. SSA
requires representative payees to report to SSA at least once per
year on how they used or conserved those funds. When a
representative payee fails to adequately report to SSA as required,
SSA conducts a face-to-face interview with the payee and completes
an SSA-624, Representative Payee Evaluation Report, 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.
