Studies show that payees of children
receiving Social Security benefits who marry fail to report the
marriage. Therefore, SSA periodically determines eligibility for
benefits for children ages 15 through 17 by asking for information
about marital status using Form SSA1587OCRSM. SSA uses the
information to detect overpayments and avoid continuing payment to
those no longer entitled. Respondents are representative payees for
children ages 15 through 17.
