Abstract: When SSA determines it is not in an Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI), or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient’s best interest to receive Social Security payments directly, the agency will designate a representative payee for the recipient. The representative payee can be: (1) a family member; (2) a non-family member who is a private citizen and is acquainted with the beneficiary; (3) an organization; (4) a state or local government agency; or (5) a business. In the capacity of representative payee, the person or organization receives the SSA recipient’s payment directly, and manages these payments. The respondents are representative payees of OASDI and SSI recipients.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2017, the burden was 1,169,074 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 510,281 hours. Section 102 of the Strengthening Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018 exempted certain representative payees from our annual accounting requirements. Accordingly, we stopped mailing accounting forms to certain exempted payees beginning June 22, 2018 for Title II, and July 6, 2018 for Title XVI and concurrent cases. This change resulted in a decrease in the number of responses from 4,676,294 to 2,041,127. There is no change to the burden time per response. These figures represent current Management Information data.
