We are completing our work on your application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
payments. This letter explains how we plan to pay you if we decide that you can get
SSI. We will send you another letter when we make our decision.
How We Plan To Pay You
The information we have shows you need help managing your money and meeting your daily
needs. Because of this information, we plan to send your SSI payments to (1) . We call this (2) your representative payee.
It is your representative payee's duty to manage your SSI money. The representative
payee must report changes that can affect your payments and act in your best interest.
We will ask your representative payee to show us how the money was used for you.
If You Disagree With The Decision
If you think you should get your own payments or that someone else should help you
manage your SSI money, you have the right to appeal. We will review your case and
consider any new facts you have. Then, a person who didn't make the first decision
will decide your case.
