Social Security / SSI representative payee
A person or organization that the Social Security Administration (SSA) selects to receive Social Security (Title II) or SSI (Title XVI) benefits for a beneficiary. SSA appoints a payee after finding that the beneficiary cannot manage or direct the management of their benefit payments. In this role, 'incapacitated' means that SSA administrative finding. It is not a court adjudication, and SSA can appoint a payee even for a legally competent person. A payee is not an agent: a power of attorney, including a durable one, gives no authority to receive or negotiate these benefits. The appointment ends when SSA changes payees, when SSA finds the beneficiary capable, or when the beneficiary dies. The former payee must then return payments not due and hand over conserved funds.
