Beneficiary Information

Beneficiaries Who Have a Payee
Social Security's Representative Payment Program provides financial management for the Social Security and SSI payments of our beneficiaries who are incapable of managing their Social Security or SSI payments.

Generally, we look for family or friends to serve in this capacity.

When friends and family are not able to serve as payee, Social Security looks for qualified organizations to be a representative payee.
