SSA makes annual grants to the
Protection and Advocacy Agencies (P&A) in each state to
conduct, for SSA, all representative payee reviews. The collection
of this information is mandatory for the completion of onsite
reviews of State mental institutions. The P&As use Form
SSA-9584-BK to collect information during State mental institutions
onsite reviews. The P&As use the SSA-9584-BK to: (1) to
determine if the policies and practices of a State mental
institution acting as a representative payee for SSA beneficiaries
conform to SSA’s regulations in the use of benefits; (2) to confirm
that institutions are performing other duties and responsibilities
required of representative payees; and (3) as the basis for
conducting onsite reviews of the Institutions and preparing
subsequent reports of findings. The respondents are State mental
institutions serving as representative payees for Social Security
beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
recipients.

The decrease in burden hours
stems from a decline in the number of State institutions
participating in the onsite review program. As of December 2020,
there are approximately 203 State institutions participating in the
onsite review program. SSA reviews institutions triennially,
reviewing one-third (68) of the 203 participating institutions each
year.
