Representative payees

Truth be told, not all Social Security recipients are even able to properly manage their own benefit payments. Some suffer from cognitive disorders or even developmental disabilities, and some are small kids. In this situation, Social Security can appoint someone to serve as the beneficiary’s representative payee. What’s a representative payee? It’s basically an authority to receive another person’s benefits and also use them to meet the needed requirements, like food, shelter, and even health care.

It’s mainly a family member or a friend, but some organizations like nursing homes can easily fill the role. It’s a very serious job that needs a lot of diligence. Social Security holds all payees accountable depending on how much they spend on benefit funds, and they are prohibited from putting the money to their own use.

    These people want you to change your insurance company to get the card.

      You are right. Contacted them and the spiel was about signing up for new insurance.

      If you live within 20 miles of any large city there are many food banks that can be found online. As well, if you do not, then many churches give away food once a month to those in need. You can find these online or even using your smartphone, if you have one. Simply enter into the query “local food banks” or “churches giving away food monthly”.
      As for utilities, the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities, again online can be found that offer help.
      Also, if you are in relatively good health, you can hire yourself out as a companion for other elderly people living alone by placing an ad online or in a local newspaper. Many families are looking for mature trustworthy people that may assist and be a companion to their elderly parent or grandparent that lives alone. You will need some references from friends or past employers or former co-workers that can vouch for your character, however.
