How to Obtain a Rep Payee
If you have a client that may need a payee you can learn more about Who Needs a Payee or you can find additional resource information at the SSA website. If it is determined that the client does need a payee the following steps outline the process for obtaining a payee.
-
Complete a FA New Client Enrollment Form. This gives FA current information about your demographics, finances, your care team and all pertinent information for FA to assist you in the best way possible. Make sure all applicable fields are completed.
-
Complete and sign the Consent to Release Information. This is used for FA to obtain and/or exchange information for the purpose of planning for your well-being.
-
Read and sign the Client Agreement. This is only for those without a Managed Care Organization, confirming you read and agree with the terms of FA becoming your representative payee. This will allow for a successful relationship with FA.
- Complete the Physician’s Contact Information Form – only if you have not had a payee before. Social Security would like to contact your Physician to ensure that having a payee is the right choice for you. This will help them get in touch with them easier.
- Complete Form SSA-827 – only if you have not had a payee before. This will allow your doctor to talk to SSA to determine if you are in need of a payee.
