How do you know if you have a payee?

Generally, the payee is the person to whom you make the payment, regardless of whether that person is the beneficial owner of the income. However, there are situations in which the payee is a person other than the one to whom you actually make a payment.

In most cases, when you change payees, your next check will be sent to your new payee. In rare cases, the process may take a bit longer, but seldomly takes more than a month to change your payee.

What If I Believe I No Longer Need a Representative Payee ? You have the right to receive your own Social Security check unless SSA believes you are not capable of managing or directing the management of your money.

If you're an eligible beneficiary with a Representative Payee, you can open an account for yourself. If you have legal capacity, you may select a Representative Payee to open and manage an account for you.

The SSA-11-BK is the paper form a potential payee completes to apply to be payee. Use the paper form only, when it is not possible to use eRPS. For example, we must take paper applications for applicants who do not have a Social Security Number (SSN).

To complete an SSA 11-BK, you will need to provide the following information: Name of the number holder. Social security number. Name of the person(s) for whom you are filing (claimant) Claimant's social security number. Indication if you are the claimant and what your benefits paid directly to you.
