For purposes of this section, amounts subject to payment into dedicated accounts (see §416.640(e)) include the amounts described in §416.545(a) (1), (2), and (3).
(a) For an eligible individual under age 18 who has a representative payee and who is determined to be eligible for past-due benefits (including any federally administered State supplementation) in an amount which (after §416.525 is applied) exceeds six times the Federal Benefit Rate plus any federally administered State supplementation payable in a month, this unpaid amount must be paid into the dedicated account established and maintained as described in §416.640(e).
(b) After the account is established, the representative payee may (but is not required to) deposit into the account any subsequent past-due benefits (including any federally administered State supplementation) which are in an amount less than that specified in paragraph (a) of this section or any other funds representing an SSI underpayment which is equal to or exceeds the maximum Federal Benefit Rate.
(c) If the underpaid individual dies before all the benefits due have been deposited into the dedicated account, we will follow the rules which apply to underpayments for the payment of any unpaid amount due to any eligible survivor as described in §416.542(b).
