Description

The program helps both beneficiaries and representative payees. Beneficiaries are the recipients of Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Rep payees are the individuals or organizations who manage Social Security benefits. SSA assesses a beneficiary's need for a rep payee on a case-by-case basis. Equip for Equality's role is meant to help keep beneficiaries safe and ensure their needs are met by conducting performance reviews to discover whether or not a representative payee is carrying out its duties.
