Hi There,

It means that the payee was changed. You and your daughter can go to an SSA office to try to change it back to you. To change a payee, it must be done in person.

Hi Diane,

In order to change a payee, you are required to do it in person. You cannot do it over the phone or online.

On average how long does it take to become your own payee, when you have been authorized to do so

Hi Joe,

Yes you can. You and your wife would have to go to an SSA office and change her payee. It must be done in person and if you can, you should go.

I'm thinking of getting my husband on a payee service but I dont really know what all we would need to do. Does he need a caseworker for this? I am his payee but I am not good at managing this ( I have no idea and it's a huge amount of stress and anxiety). We think a service to manage his money would be more appropriate. What do we need to do?

Hi ES,

To change payee, your husband will have to do so at a local SSA office in person. The SSA can assign him a payee.

Hi Annamarie,

If your daughter went to the SSA's office with the new payee and they had the proper documentation then she would be able to change her payee.

Hi Superstarb,

You need to go to your local SSA office to change your payee. It's best if your brother goes with you. He will need to bring with him a picture ID and his Social Security card.

Hi Cheyenne,

Yes, you could. You would need to schedule an appointment at your local SSA office to do so. You are unable switch a payee online.

Hi Jessica,

To change your payee, you'd have to do so in person at an SSA office. If possible, your new payee should go with you and bring a picture ID as well as their Social Security card.
