I have been my brother's re-payee(sp?) for several years and feel that he is more than capable of handling his own money. What is the process to change this arrangement?

Hi there,
You should contact the SSA regarding this, they can either assign him a new payee if he cannot be his own, or change their records so that he can be his own payee.

Hi James,
It may be best to check with your new payee, they may have received notification from the SSA that they would start getting your benefits.
My have been my sons payee about 2 years since his approval. I learned a month ago that he went to the SS office and they turned control of his money to him. My son is not capable of handling his own money he does not pay for any of his basic needs. He will not but things to bath with, food, clothes, or anything that provide basic needs. O don't understand how they can let him control his funds without requiring him to be examined by a doctor just an office visit to SS. He has one of the worse cases of paranoid schizophrenia. He has had about 15 mental health stays in the last two years. He has solicited people in the neighborhood for guns so he can shoot is family. There is documentation of this at the police department. He has a 10 day mental stay after this incident. My fear no is that he will carry out this threat of buying a gun because he has control of his check now. How do he get a new payee? He is not capable of handling his money. All be buys us cigarettes, alcohol and fast food with his money. He is broke in three days and he has not provided any basic needs for himself.

Hi Patty,
It may be possible for your child to not require a payee, all you need to do is contact the SSA with some information about your child's situation.

My husband is on disability with rare form of dementia, as in young onset, his speech has become very hard to understand, he understands most everything, but cant follow directions very well. The ssa has asked that maybe I should become his rep payee. We have be married for 28 yrs and have a joint checking acct.I have done all the book keeping in our family. We have a good marriage and will I be keeping him at home till he dies, per his request. Since this is a type of requested payee, not required, are the stipulations still the same? Ie: different bank accts, keeping account of everything that is spent on him etc....how does that work when what he gets is what we live on?

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear that.
Generally it's good practice to follow the guidelines for representative payees, even if the payee is a voluntary one.
