If you handle the finances of someone who receives benefits from Social Security, or you know someone who may need help managing his or her benefits, you may want to consider applying to be a representative payee. A representative payee is someone who receives Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments on behalf of a person not capable of managing the funds on his or her own. A representative payee makes sure an individual’s basic needs are met by using the money to provide food, clothing, and shelter for the person and saving any money left over in an interest-bearing account or via savings bonds for the beneficiary's future needs. As a representative payee, you must: • know the person’s needs so you can decide the best way to meet those needs with the benefits provided; • be responsible for letting Social Security know about any changes that may affect the person’s eligibility for benefits or the payment amount; and News From The 112th Precinct COMMUNITY COUNCIL Helping Foster Children by Heidi Harrison Chain The 112th Precinct and the 112th Precinct Community Council are once again helping to give suitcases and backpacks to foster children so they do not have to move their possessions in black garbage bags.
