Hi Ronna,
You may want to contact the SSA as they can re-assign your child's payee.

Hi Bobbie,
The SSA would not take any funds away that it has given you if you were eligible for them. You may want to contact them regarding transferring funds from one account to another.

I went to the ss office on 10/26/17 to remove myself as payee. On Nov 3, 17 the person who I was their payee money was deposited onto the card with my name on it. the person who now has the client called me and wanted me to give them the money. I received a letter from ss stating that the person(which was me) who was originally their payee will no longer receive the money and that the Nov 2017 money will not be disbursed until a new payee has been assigned, yet the money went on the direct express card that has my name on it. I called ss and they said they will find out how to retrieve the money from the card, yet the other person, who I don't know if they are the payee, keeps requesting the money from me and charging fees for not sending it. Do I have to turn it over to them?

Hi Michelle,
I would confirm who the new payee is with the SSA, they may not be able to charge fees for not sending the money.

Hello,

I really can't say for sure. I would recommend calling the SSA and speaking with a representative regarding that.

Hi there,
If you are not your own payee you will not be able to be someone else's payee. You can certainly file the paperwork to become your own payee! The SSA will just revaluate your claim to ensure you're both able to handle your own payments and still disabled enough to not work.

I have a payee for my SSI.the last few months he's not been on top of things and then lost his job.then said that I would have to pay him now... I refused. Now I don't know where he is and I don't have any money or a place to stay.. I usually stay in a hotel.. I don't have help. I have had no food in two almost three days
