BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
On April 13, 2018, the President signed H.R. 4547, “The Strengthening Protections for Social
Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018” into law. Section 201 of the law allows claimants and
beneficiaries to designate one or more individuals to serve as a representative payee should they
need one in the future and requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to select the
designated individual (with certain exceptions). SSA will provide this option to beneficiaries
receiving Title 2, Title 8, and Title 16 benefits and applicants during an initial claim for these
programs. Only adults age 18 and over and emancipated minors can advance designate as long as
they do not have a representative payee or have a pending representative payee application in
process.
SSA will collect the minimum information needed to help the agency contact the designated
individuals in the future. The beneficiary may waive, withdraw, update information, or change
the order of priority of the advance designee(s) at any time.
As part of the business process, SSA will provide the applicants and beneficiaries with a receipt
for each transaction. This may result in approximately 59 million receipts issued annually to
applicants and beneficiaries.
