On April 13, 2018, the President
signed into law The Strengthening Protections for Social Security
Beneficiaries Act of 2018, also known as Pub.L.115-165. Section 201
of the law allows SSA beneficiaries and applicants under Title II,
Title VIII and Title XVI, of the Act to designate individuals to
serve as a representative payee should the need arise in the
future. Section 201(j)(2) of the Act provides the requirements for
selecting a qualified representative payee. SSA only offers the
option to advance designate to capable adults and emancipated
minors. Beneficiaries who have an assigned representative payee, or
have a representative application in process, cannot advance
designate. Form SSA-4547, Advance Designation of Representative
Payee, allows beneficiaries or applicants the option to designate
individuals in order of priority, to serve as a representative.
Beneficiaries or applicants can update or change the advance
designee order of priority at any time. SSA uses the information on
Form SSA-4547 to select a qualified representative payee in order
of priority. If the selected representative payee is unable or
unwilling to serve, or meet SSA requirements. SSA will select
another representative payee to serve in the beneficiaries and
applicants best interest. SSA will notify beneficiaries annually of
the individuals they chose in advance to be their representative
payee. The respondents are SSA beneficiaries and claimants who want
to choose an advance designate representative.
