As for having a payee, they can have it automatically deposited in their account. The check arrives the same date every month and they could set up an automatic transfer for the following day to your account.

So what's the point of having a payee if all they do is act as a conduit between you and SSA? If you can manage your own money, you don't need a payee in between. If a payee is just doing an automatic transfer to your account without managing the money for you, then the payee is not doing the job they signed up to do and should be removed. When this kind of payee is asked to account for how they spent they money, they will have to lie because they will have no idea how the money was spent. Bad idea.
