What Happens to Money When a Representative Payee Is Removed?

When a payee is removed, conserved benefits should be turned over according to SSA instructions, and future payments go to the new payee or to you if you become your own payee.

Accounting

The outgoing payee may need to account for funds.

Transition gaps

Plan for rent and medications during the change.

Disputes

If money is missing, raise the issue with SSA promptly.
