GUIDE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE PAYEES

GUIDE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE PAYEES


Social Security Representative Payees must handle wards' Social Security benefits in accordance with the law. The following website contains a guide for handling Social Security benefits.



The Social Security Administration (SSA) has developed this Guide for Organizational Payees to help organizations serving as representative payees. It should help you understand the duties and responsibilities of a payee.

For your convenience, the Guide, as well as other payee information, is available online at:
