Abstract:
When SSA determines it is not in beneficiaries' best interests to receive their Social Security benefits payments directly, the Agency will designate a family member, unrelated person, or organization to act as the representative payee for such beneficiaries. Representative payees must account to SSA about how they use these payments on their beneficiaries' behalf; they use forms SSA-623 (for adult beneficiaries), SSA-6230 (for child beneficiaries), and SSA-6234 (organizational rep payees) to do so. We are completing a Non-Substantive Change Request due to the roll out of myRPA system on July 21, 2018. myRPA will ask the same questions as IRPA, but is part of the Agencies mySocialSecurity Redesign initiative, that will provide critical enhancements to the mySocialSecurity portal. The enhancements allow for adaptability of future eService applications into mySocialSecurity. This change request is to reduce the number of respondents reporting on Forms: SSA-623; SSA-6230; and SSA-6234, which will also reduce the estimated total annual burden (hours), due to legislative change.
