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. This ICR is for three changes to the collection: 1) we are clearing an Internet version of the Representative Payee Report, 2) we are combining all three paper forms under one OMB number, 0960-0068, and 3) we are making minor formatting changes to the first page of the paper forms' instructions.
