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 you would like to stop being a representative payee, you will have to contact the SSA office. The best way to do that is to bring in all parties involved, but that is not always possible. The SSA assigns a payee because they believe that that individual should not be taking care of their own money. If that status has not changed, then a new payee will be assigned.
Since he has a representative payee, the SSA has decided that it would be better if someone else was to handle the money. To switch payees you will have to make an appointment with your local SSA office. This would be best if both parties are there. If the determination is made that he is unable to care for his own money, there will be a new payee assigned.
To change yourself to the payee start by making an appointment with your local SSA office. They will be able to help you switch to yourself of find a new payee.
Hi, I have been on disability since I was 17yrs old, due to an accident..I have a payee...well I am now 30 yrs old with 3 children taking care of my own home.. Am i able to resign the payee an still get my benefits? Because I am capable of dealing with my own money an tired of feeling like a child asking for my money ... please help me figure this situation out..
You can switch to having yourself be your payee. If you become your own payee, the SSA may reopen your case to see if you are still eligible for benefits.

When you want to change your rep payee, go to your local Social Security Administration field office and request a change of payee. You will be given a form to fill out, and guidance will be provided if necessary.

Hi Ricky,
If you cannot find a family member or close friend to be your payee then a qualified organization may act as a Social Security Representative Payee.
