how do I stop being representative payee?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I have been my brother's re-payee(sp?) for several years and feel that he is more than capable of handling his own money. What is the process to change this arrangement?

After filling out the form of no longer wanting to be representative payee, what should I do/ should happen to the bank acoount that I was open for that person? Should I close it or just notify the bank?

Hi Kim,
I would wait until a new payee is assigned, and then hand off those funds to them. You may want to contact your local SSA office for more details about how to do so.

Hi Sue,
Your husband may be able to be your payee, however I could not say if the SSA would approve him as a payee.

My Grand son has lived with me for several years but has only had SSI for about 2 years now. He wants to go stay with his Uncle for awhile can I still remain his payee or not? I don't no how it works for some but I heard if you make to much money he wouldn't be approved anyway, they approved me right away saying it was because I was his grandmother and didn't need income. But main concern is can I still remain being his payee?

Hi Caren,
You may be able to stay his payee, however if you would be unable to provide the funds for the child while he is staying with his uncle, you may want to contact the SSA and have them re-assign payees.

Hi Allison,
The safest bet would be to call the SSA and make sure you have everything necessary. You can do so toll-free at 1-800-772-1213.

I have been the payee for my brother and recently i have had situations come up in my own immediate family and feel like I need to pass his payee over to my sister. How do we go about that?

I'm married to my husband an have been his payee since 2007 an in Nov 2016 I tried to kill myself to not deal with his crazy ideas that I was taking his money an buying what I wanted I have always paid all his bills on 3rd till may 2016 he took atm card away from me an if I go in bank he goes with me now which is fine I have proof with my bank how I always draw money out how much I left in for him to go the rest of month. But I'm tired of being threating every time he has a spell or quits taking his mental meds an says He's the man it's his money and I would give it to him or he could put me in jail or take it himself. This has gotten violent a few times an I just can't deal with being responsible for him an him not pay what he's suppose to an blame me. I want out of payee if it goes back to him his dad or his sister but not me.

Hi Lisa,

I am sorry to hear that. You could go to your local Social Security Administration office and fill out the paperwork to no longer be the payee. If you do not have a replacement, the SSA will name someone else to become her payee.

Best Wishes,
Eric
