Hi Britteny,

You will have to contact the SSA for that! Their number is 1-800-772-1213 or you can visit your local office.

My disabled son was in a group home and I took him out. They insisted on being his payee, I went to ssa and changed payee back to me. He has 1500 in his account and they refuse to give it to us, said they are sending it back to ss because they have to, is this true? I think they’re just mad cause I took him home. He was being neglected

Hi Kathy,

I'm not sure in this situation. Your best resource will be the SSA. You can call them at 1-800-772-1213 to find out.

Hi Tina,

It really depends on your situation. I would recommend speaking with a SSA representative regarding your specific case.

My dad is currently my sons payee, my son has lived with me for the last 7 years. I want to change payee to myself. How do I go about this. Getting my sons funds from them has proved to be quiet difficult.

Hi Mike,

If you want to request a payee change, you will have to schedule an appointment in person at your local SSA office and work with a representative from there.
