Review the Representative Payment System (RPS) (and Supplemental Security Record (SSR)
to see if the latest beneficiary address is on SSA records. If so, prepare a SSA-5002
(Report of Contact) and document that a face-to-face interview is not necessary. (The
need for a payee change was considered when the custody change was input to the SSR/RPS.)
Also review the payee coding on the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR)/SSR/RPS and correct
as appropriate.
Only develop for an SSA-624-F5 (Representative Payee Evaluation Report) when the latest
beneficiary address is not shown on the SSR/RPS or the payee submitted an unacceptable response which cannot be resolved.
