  Can I continue to serve as a representative payee while in jail?
  Question
  Can I continue to serve as a representative payee while in jail?
  Answer
  Possibly. SSA will look into whether you are still the best person to manage the payments on behalf of the Social Security beneficiary. The fact that you are in jail does not automatically mean that you cannot continue as a representative payee.
