Title: Dedicated Accounts and Installment Payments for Certain Past Due Supplemental Security Income Benefits (622F) | |
Abstract: These final rules will adopt, with minor changes, the interim final rules published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1996 (61 FR 67203). The interim final rules reflected the PRWORA amendments to the Social Security Act concerning dedicated accounts and installment payments for certain past-due Supplemental Security Income benefits. Section 213 of the PRWORA requires representative payees of children under age 18 who are to receive past-due SSI benefits that exceed 6 times the maximum Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) to establish dedicated accounts in financial institutions. Section 221 of the PRWORA requires, with certain exceptions, that past-due SSI benefits which equal or exceed 12 times the maximum FBR be paid in installments. In addition, these final rules reflect conforming provisions to section 302 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 that was effective May 2005, which provides for the direct payment of representative fees by SSA from any past due benefits that may be payable to an individual. Finally, these final rules reflect the conforming provisions of section 7502 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, enacted February 8, 2006, which changes the formula for the payment of past due benefits for SSI recipients from 12 times the FBR plus any federally administered State supplementation to 3 times the FBR plus any federally administered State supplementation. | |
