YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
The patient shown above has filed for or is receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security income payments.
We need you to complete the back of this form and return it to us in the enclosed envelope to help us decide if
we should pay this person directly or if he or she needs a representative payee to handle the funds. Please
Note: This determination affects how benefits are paid and has no bearing on disability determinations. Thank
you for your help.
WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE
A representative payee is someone who manages the patient's money to make sure the patient's needs are met.
The payee has a strong and continuing interest in the patient's well-being and is usually a family member or
close friend.
WHO NEEDS A REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE
Some individuals age 18 and older who have mental or physical impairments are not capable of handling their
funds or directing others how to handle them to meet their basic needs, so we select a representative payee to
receive their payments. Examples of impairments which may cause incapability are senility, severe brain
damage or chronic schizophrenia. However, even though a person may need some assistance with such things
as bill paying, etc., does not necessarily mean he/she cannot make decisions concerning basic needs and is
incapable of managing his/her own money.
