Abstract: SSA requires payees to submit a written report accounting for the use of money paid to Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, and to establish and maintain a dedicated account for these payments. SSA uses Form SSA-6233-BK to: (1) Ensure the payee uses the payments for the recipient’s current maintenance and personal needs; and (2) confirm the expenditures of funds from the dedicated account remain in compliance with the law. Although we mail a paper Form SSA-6233-BK to the payee, the report can also be completed through telephone contact and then be mailed to the payee for signature, or during a face-to-face interview. The respondents are payees for SSI and Social Security recipients.
