Remastered Podcast: Can You Be Your Own Social Security Payee?
Q&A: Social Security Disability TodayShow Notes
This remastered podcast episode comes from the original Q&A Social Security Disability Today video posted on January 7, 2014.
In this episode, I break down whether a person receiving Social Security Disability or SSI benefits can serve as their own payee. I explain why Social Security may appoint a representative payee, what kinds of concerns may lead to that decision, and how a person may be able to show that they are capable of managing their own money.
This conversation is especially important for anyone who has been told they may need a representative payee, or anyone trying to understand how Social Security evaluates financial responsibility when disability benefits are involved.
Listen to this remastered Q&A episode, share it with someone navigating Social Security Disability benefits, and follow the podcast for more practical conversations about the disability process.
