More than 7 million recipients of Social Security benefits have a representative payee—a person or an organization—to receive or manage their benefits. These payees manage Old Age, Survivor and Disability Insurance (OASDI) funds for retirees, surviving spouses, children, and the disabled, and they manage Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to disabled, blind, or elderly people with limited income and resources. More than half of the beneficiaries with a representative payee are minor children; the rest are adults, often elderly, whose mental or physical incapacity prevents them from acting on their own behalf, and people who have been deemed incapable under state guardianship laws. The funds are managed through the Representative Payee Program of the Social Security Administration. The funds total almost $4 billion a month, and there are more than 5.3 million representative payees.
