Is it mandatory that all social security checks (SSI and SSA) be direct deposited because checks are no longer sent in the mail?

Hi,

I would like to change my Social Security Rep Payee but I don't know which is the correct form to fill out. I live in California. Also, how long does it take for the new rep payee to become my new rep payee? thanks.

Hi Anne,

To change your payee, you need to do so in person at your local SSA office. Typically, your next check will go to your new payee.

Hi Karen,

If your friend wanted to, he can change his payee. Then his money would be managed by someone else. To change his payee, he needs to visit an SSA office.

My ex has been receiving ssdi payments for my son. He is living in another state now and is not supporting his son. I have 90% custody if not more. Can i petition for the payee to be changed so that the money received is used for my son. I ask my ex for help and he wont. I dont even get child support.

Hi There,

I am so sorry to hear that. I would recommend scheduling an appointment at your local SSA office. There you'll be able to know what next steps to take.

I recieved a letter from stating that I would not be the representative payee for my daughter and that social security has decided to send her check to another payee.. what does this mean? And how was it changed? Who has her money?
