BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
On April 13, 2018, the President signed H.R. 4547, “The Strengthening Protections for Social
Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018” into law (P.L. 115-165). Section 201 of the law allows
applicants and beneficiaries to designate individuals to serve as a representative payee should
they need one in the future and requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to consider for
selection the designated individual (with certain exceptions). SSA will provide this option to
beneficiaries receiving Title 2, Title 8, and Title 16 benefits and applicants when they apply for
benefits. Only competent adults 18 years and over, and emancipated minors can advance
designate a representative payee.
SSA will collect the minimum information needed to help the agency contact the designated
individuals in the future. The beneficiary may waive, withdraw, select, update information, or
change the order of priority of the advance designee(s) at any time.
In addition, the law requires SSA to mail an annual notice to the beneficiaries with the name(s)
of any individual advance designated. The notice contains:
• Advance Designation of Representative Payee background information, and
• The list of the designee(s) submitted by the beneficiary.
This may result in approximately 59 million notices issued annually to beneficiaries.
This notice will be released through Customer Communications Management (CCM).

We are submitting this revised notice clearance package for the non-sensitive minor changes we
made to the existing notice. OCOMM suggested adding mySSA to enable eligible individuals to
provide advance designation or make changes on their own through their personal mySSA
account to lessen the customer service workload in the Field Office and the Teleservice Center.
These minor modifications do not involve any changes to policy.

We are writing to you because you provided us with your Advance Designation of

Advance Designation
If you become unable to manage or direct the management of your benefits, we will select a
representative payee to receive and manage your benefits for you. Advance designation lets you
provide names of people who could serve as your representative payee. If the time comes that
you need someone to manage your benefits, we may select one of your advance designees as
your representative payee. We will consider your advance designees in your order of priority
with certain exceptions. To be appointed representative payee, an individual must be able and
willing to serve, and must meet our selection requirements.

Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information

Section 205(j) of the Social Security Act, as amended, allows us to collect this
information. Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part
of the information may prevent us from selecting the representative payee(s) you designate to act
on your behalf.
We will use the information you provide to update and maintain your representative payee(s).
We may also share the information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
•

To third party contacts, where necessary, to establish or verify information provided
by representative payees or representative payee applicants; and

•

To contractors and other Federal Agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting
us in the efficient administration of our programs. We will disclose information
under this routine use only in situations in which we may enter into a contractual or
similar agreement to obtain assistance in accomplishing an SSA function relating to
this system or records.

In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal
laws. For example, where authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer
matching programs, in which our records are compared with other records to establish or verify a
person’s eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent
debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notice(s)
