LIT LOVE. You are misunderstand my post, you are twisting them and putting word into them. Please don't do that.

SSI & SSDI are two different programs. He is not eligible to draw on his own. I told him if he really wants to be his own payee. Wait tell he is 65. This way he will still be able get SSI on income only because he wouldn't get SSDI if they determine he is no longer disabled. I also told him other options from reading other post & info from the web.

Moving out of the country would not require a payee. The reason. There are no payee agencies in other countries. Plus a payee in the U.S. couldn't pay bills in the country he living in.

There are locations in the U.S. where there is not a Payee agency close by. He could move to a city, where a payee would create a hardship.
