Is it mandatory that all social security checks (SSI and SSA) be direct deposited because checks are no longer sent in the mail?

Hi Mariah,

You can change your payee in person at a SSA office. If you become your own payee, they may reopen and review your case.

Hi,

I would like to change my Social Security Rep Payee but I don't know which is the correct form to fill out. I live in California. Also, how long does it take for the new rep payee to become my new rep payee? thanks.

Hi Anne,

To change your payee, you need to do so in person at your local SSA office. Typically, your next check will go to your new payee.

Hi Kayla,

You would have to schedule an appointment at your local SSA office to do so. By being your own payee however won't affect your paycheck.

Hi Karen,

If your friend wanted to, he can change his payee. Then his money would be managed by someone else. To change his payee, he needs to visit an SSA office.

My ex has been receiving ssdi payments for my son. He is living in another state now and is not supporting his son. I have 90% custody if not more. Can i petition for the payee to be changed so that the money received is used for my son. I ask my ex for help and he wont. I dont even get child support.

My payee is my mother,she never gives me cash and im not allowed to see the bank statements of my checking account, sometimes im missing money,the bighest problem is she ssys shes called ss and they told her im not allowed to touch my debit csrd or have any cash at hand and she lied to them saying im totally incapable of budjeting my money ,also her personality is controlling

Hi There,

I am so sorry to hear that. I would recommend scheduling an appointment at your local SSA office. There you'll be able to know what next steps to take.

I recieved a letter from stating that I would not be the representative payee for my daughter and that social security has decided to send her check to another payee.. what does this mean? And how was it changed? Who has her money?
