Help - representative payee change

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone and Happy Holidays,

I need some assistance – I would like to be the representative payee for my

sister (I am her co-guardian, plenary). She currently resides in a CILA and I

need to be able to monitor her assets better than what is being done since she

has resided in this CILA with a day program. We love the day program and the

housemates she has and have no intentions of moving her.

I have ordered a copy of the guardianship papers to take to the Social Security

office, and have downloaded the form (filled it out although I know that SS

personnel need to fill it out themselves). The other co-guardian is in

agreement that the representative payee should no longer be the non-profit

organization that is a providing CILA and day program services.

Is there anything that anyone is aware of that can prevent me from doing so?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Leonor
