A representative payee is a person or organization authorized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to cash and manage certain benefits checks -- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) -- for a person deemed unable to do so.
Payments to these individuals are paid through a representative payee who receives the check on behalf of the beneficiary and provides for their personal needs. For many beneficiaries, a family member or friend serves as the payee. But for a growing number of individuals, no one is available to fill this role.
