Hi, I can't tell you why in your case they want you to have a representative
payee. But my oldest son when he was on SSI, had one. It was me.

I had to follow lots of rules, and keep records of how I helped him spend his
money. I had to record this for the government every year. THey would
send me a set of paperwork to fill out every year.


But if you have been sent this then you have been qualified.

They just want you to have someone to manage your money for you.
It might be possible to work with them to talk them into letting it be
a co-thing. Some times this works too.


Congratulations.

Donna
