A typical letter might read as follows:
As representative payee for [name of beneficiary], you are required by law to complete
an accounting report for SSA detailing how you spent and/or saved the funds you received
on [name of beneficiary]’s behalf. On [date initial SSA-2001-F6 was requested] and
[date followup SSA-2001-F6 was requested] we sent you Form SSA-2001-F6 to complete.
You have not responded to our attempts to obtain this report.
If We Do Not Hear From You
If you do not contact our office within 20 days from the date of this letter and make
arrangements to complete the accounting form, the payment dated [date of payment that
will be redirected to FBU or FO] for [beneficiary’s name] will be mailed to our office
at: {FBU or Field Office name and address}. After that time you will have to come
into the office to pick up the checks. If you receive payments on behalf of [beneficiary’s
name] by direct deposit to a bank account, we will stop your direct deposit and begin
mailing the beneficiary’s checks to our office. When you come into the office to receive
the check, you must complete the accounting report. You should bring documentation
such as cancelled checks, receipts or some other record showing how you spent funds
on behalf of [beneficiary’s name].
What You Need To Do
To prevent [beneficiary’s name]’s payments from being redirected to our office, you
should contact us at {FBU or FO’s address & phone number} within 20 days to make arrangements
to complete the accounting report.
