<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The retiree should be able to receive their funds whether or not they are incapacitated. However, it is not enough to simply have a power of attorney in order to become the retiree’s payee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">One must be appointed as a “Representative Payee” by completing the SSA form SSA-11 bk. This is a “Request to be Selected as Payee” form. That form can be found on third party sites but for some reason, it’s not list on the SSA site. An easy way to get this form is for the person to go, in person, to the SSA office. The SSA Officer will fill out the form while the applicant is there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">In my experience, it can take a couple months after submitting an application. If the SS<span style="font-size:11pt">A stopped the payments for some reason, like if they thought the person was not c</span>ompetent to manage their money, the Representative Payee can request back payments once they are appointed.</span></p>
