Payee question non ms related

[gpat499]

Sorry, I didn't realize what this forum was for MS people. I do have a disability though & have a payee. I am only posting because this is the only place I can find to ask an attorney for free.

I know I no loner need a payee. I don't want to jeopardize it either. Should, I wait tell I am 55 or 65. My disability has not improved, however technology has. I am real good with Ach, Debit card, Automated phone payment & online payment. The computer has helped me a lot. The reason I say 65. Is that if Social Security says I am no longer disabled, I can fall back on SSI.

I also heard if you move out of country, they would have to put SSDI in my name because there would be no payee agencies. I read bad things about payee agencies.

Personal, after listening to C-span. Having a payee is unconstitutional. The reason I think this it denies me the right to choose. I should have the right to mess up like anyone else (actual I have). The one that should have a payee are those who want one, a court ordered guardian or signed a guardianship form. I also watch a lot of legal shows.

I don't why any lawyer has not challenge this in court. I make mistake like the non disabled do. Nothing different.

Hi gpat499

sometimes a payee is a good thing. They take care of paying your bills and your rent for you.

If you really feel you don't need a payee anymore you can probably file something in the social security office and have them review your case. Or you can always be 'put on calender' and bring it before a judge to review.

Good luck

Hi, gpat499 and camsue. I haven't heard that SSA would review one's claim just because a representative payee is removed from your account, although I have not specifically researched that issue. Check with SSA before you move out of the country to be sure that you still can receive benefits and re: the rep payee issue; it is not an issue that I have had to handle before.
