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?

If I don't need a payee and social security refuses to be reasonable and even obey the laws do I have any options? I have influence over no one.

Hi There,

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe schedule an appointment at your local SSA office and speak to someone from there.

At age 17 are you old enough to manage your own SS Survivor benefits

My mother lives with me, she's on SSI and has a very bad gambling habit. She's incapable of managing her own account. How can I become her payee?

Hi Ashley,
The SSA would need to determine that your mother is incapable of handling her finances and would then require a payee, which she would need to name.

Is a payee entitled to repayment if they have provided sole support for the person for which they are in charge? I paid for everything for the years leading up to approval process.

Hi Sara,
You may want to contact the SSA regarding this, however you may only be able to do that as a disability advocate or attorney.

Hi Sara,

You would have to schedule an appointment with your local SSA office and speak with a representative there. Wishing you and your son nothing but the best.
