A representative payee may use a recipient's properly conserved funds to repay an
overpayment only if:
-
•
The overpaid recipient is liable for the repayment of the overpayment; and
-
•
You have not waived recovery of the overpayment with respect to the overpaid recipient.
NOTE: Funds misused by a representative payee are reissued to the SSI individual. However,
if the SSI individual has been overpaid, the reissued funds will be used to reduce
or recover the outstanding overpayment.
