The payee applicant must produce documentation of his or her identity and information showing the following:
The relationship to the beneficiary;
Concern and responsibility for the care of the beneficiary;
The availability of other potential payees; and
Their SSN/EIN.
A guardian, trustee, committee, conservator, or other fiduciary must submit a certified copy of the letters or a court order of appointment showing that the appointment is still in full force and effect.
Any time after the selection of a representative payee, we may request the payee to furnish information showing a continuing relationship to the beneficiary and a continuing responsibility for the care of the beneficiary. We will also request written reports accounting for how the funds were used.
If we do not receive the information when requested, payments to the payee may stop, unless good reason for not fulfilling the request is determined and the requested information is received.
