In this remastered companion podcast episode of Q&A Social Security Disability Today, originally posted on February 27, 2013, Attorney Anthony Reeves explains what may happen when Social Security requires a disability beneficiary to have a representative payee.
The discussion covers why SSA may believe a payee is necessary, what kinds of concerns may lead to that decision, and why the agency focuses on making sure disability benefits are properly used for the beneficiary’s needs.
Attorney Reeves also explains that a beneficiary may be able to dispute the need for a payee, including by speaking with SSA and possibly providing medical evidence that supports the ability to manage benefits independently. This remastered episode is especially helpful for individuals who feel frustrated, embarrassed, or confused after being told they need someone else to manage their Social Security disability payments.
