Reducing Burden on Families Acting 

as Representative Payees of Social 

Security Payments 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Section 102 of the 

Strengthening Protections for Social 

Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018 

(Strengthening Protections Act) reduced 

the burden on families by exempting 

certain representative payees from our 

annual accounting requirements. We are 

revising our regulations to incorporate 

the statutory exemption for certain 

representative payees from annual 

accounting. 

DATES: This final rule is effective June 

13, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We make payments to a representative 

payee for beneficiaries who are 

incapable of managing their Social 

Security benefits, Special Veterans 

Benefits, or Supplemental Security 

Income payments. Generally, our adult 

beneficiaries have the right to receive 

their benefits directly and manage them 

independently. However, we may 

determine that a beneficiary is unable to 

manage or direct the management of 

benefit payments because of a mental or 

physical condition, or because of 

youth.1 In these cases, we appoint a

Stat. 1257, available at https://www.congress.gov/ 

bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4547. 

8Other payees who are not parents, spouses, or 

State mental hospitals participating in our onsite 

review process are still required to file the annual 

report. 

9Shortly after enactment of the Strengthening 

Protections Act, the Department of Justice filed a 

motion for partial relief from the court’s prior 

orders in Jordan to allow for implementation of the 

accounting exemption. On May 17, 2018, the Court 

granted the motion and exempted ‘‘from the annual 

accounting requirement any representative payee 

who is either (1) a parent, or other individual who 

is a legal guardian of, a minor child beneficiary who 

primarily resides in the same household, (2) a 

parent of an adult disabled beneficiary who 

primarily resides in the same household or (3) the 

spouse of a beneficiary.’’ See Jordan v. 

Commissioner of Social Security, No. 79–994–W, 

slip op. at 2 (W.D. Okla. May 17, 2018). We have 

included a copy of this decision in the rulemaking 

record. 

representative payee when we believe it 

will be in the beneficiary’s interest to 

receive benefits through a representative 

payee instead of receiving them 

directly.2

When we select a representative 

payee, our primary concern is to choose 

someone who will best serve the 

beneficiary’s interest.3 A representative 

payee may be an organization, such as 

a social service agency, or a person, 

such as a parent, other relative, or friend 

of the beneficiary whom we select to 

receive and manage benefit payments on 

behalf of the beneficiary. It is important 

for us to select the best possible 

representative payee to ensure that the 

benefits are used in the best interest of 

the beneficiary and in accordance with 

other responsibilities and requirements 

discussed in our regulations.4

Annual Accounting Form 

As a result of the decision in Jordan 

v. Schweiker,5 all representative payees 

other than State mental hospitals were 

required to file with us an annual 

accounting of their use of beneficiaries’ 

benefits. Specifically, we required all 

representative payees to complete an 

annual accounting form describing how 

the representative payee used the 

benefits. We also requested the 

representative payee to report in detail 

where the beneficiary lived during the 

accounting period, who made the 

decisions on how benefits were spent or 

saved, how much of the benefit 

payments were saved, and how the 

savings were invested.6

On April 13, 2018, Congress enacted 

the Strengthening Protections Act.7

Section 102 of this Act, ‘‘Reducing the 

Burden on Families,’’ amended sections 

205(j)(3), 807(h), and 1631(a)(2)(C) of 

the Social Security Act to relieve 

families from the burdens of the 

accounting requirement. Under the new 

statutory provision, representative 

payees who are parents or legal 

guardians living with their child, 

parents living with an adult disabled 

child, and spouses are no longer 

required to file an annual report 

accounting for how they spend the 

child’s or spouse’s benefits. However, 

these representative payees are still 

legally required to use the benefits on 

behalf of the beneficiary and according 

to our rules.8

Following the passage of the 

Strengthening Protections Act,9 we 

modified our practice to exempt from 

our annual accounting requirements any 

representative payee who is: 

• A natural or adoptive parent of a 

minor child entitled to title II benefits 

or eligible for title XVI payments, or 

both, who primarily resides in the same 

household as the beneficiary; 

• A legal guardian of a minor child 

entitled to title II benefits or eligible for 

title XVI payments, or both, who 

primarily resides in the same household 

as the beneficiary; 

• A natural or adoptive parent of a 

disabled individual (as defined in 

sections 223(d) or 1614(a)(3) of the Act) 

entitled to title II benefits or eligible for 

title XVI payments, or both, who 

primarily resides in the same household 

as the beneficiary; or 

• The spouse of an individual 

entitled to title II benefits or eligible for 

title VIII or title XVI payments. 

Explanation of Changes 

To ensure our regulations reflect the 

provisions of section 102 of the 

Strengthening Protections Act, we are 

revising 20 CFR 404.2065, 408.665, and 

416.665 to remove the annual 

accounting requirement for exempt 

representative payees. While there are 

no substantive changes aside from the 

exemption for certain representative 

payees, the revisions involve some 

restructuring of the regulations. We are 

making no other changes to our 

regulations. 

Regulatory Procedures 

We follow the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking 

procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 

when we develop regulations. Section 

702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 902(A)(5). Generally, the APA 

requires that an agency provide prior 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment before issuing a final rule. The 

APA provides exceptions to the notice 

and public comment procedures when 

an agency finds there is good cause for 

dispensing with such procedures 

because they are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. 

We find that there is good cause 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to issue this 

regulatory change as a final rule without 

prior public comment. We find that 

prior public comment is unnecessary 

because this final rule merely makes our 

regulations (20 CFR 404.2065, 408.665, 

and 416.665) consistent with the 

provisions of the Strengthening 

Protections Act, which exempts certain 

representative payees from the 

requirement of submitting an annual 

accounting report. Because we are only 

making our regulations consistent with 

the Strengthening Protections Act, and 

we are making no other changes, we 

find that prior public comment is 

unnecessary and there is good cause to 

issue this final rule without prior notice 

and public comment. 

In addition, we find that there is good 

cause for dispensing with the 30-day 

delay in the effective date of this final 

rule as provided by 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

As we explained above, this final rule 

merely makes our regulations consistent 

with the Strengthening Protections Act, 

which is already in effect. Therefore, we 

find that it is unnecessary to delay the 

effective date of the final rule. 

Executive Order 12866, as 

Supplemented by Executive Order 

13563 

We consulted with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

determined that this final rule does not 

meet the requirements for a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

(E.O.) 12866, as supplemented by E.O. 

13563. Therefore, OMB did not review 

it. 

We also determined that this final 

rule meets the plain language 

requirement of E.O. 12866. 

Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) 

We analyzed this final rule in 

accordance with the principles and 

criteria established by E.O. 13132 and 

determined that the final rule will not 

have sufficient Federalism implications 

to warrant the preparation of a 

Federalism assessment. We also 

determined that this final rule would 

not preempt any State law or State 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 35653 

regulation or affect the States’ abilities 

to discharge traditional State 

governmental functions. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

We certify that this final rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because it affects individuals only. 

Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, as amended, does not require us to 

prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

While this final rule exempts certain 

representative payees from the annual 

accounting requirement, and will affect 

the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability 

Insurance (OASDI) and Supplemental 

Security Income (SSI) programs, the 

final rule does not require any updates 

or changes to any of our forms. 

We use the following forms to collect 

representative payee information during 

Title II & Title XVI Claims: 

• SSA–637, SSA–639, Site Review 

Questionnaire for Volume Payees, 

Fee-For-Service Payees & Beneficiary 

Interview Form (0960–0633) 

• SSA–445, Application to Collect a Fee 

for Payee Services (0960–0719) 

• SSA–11–BK, Request To Be Selected 

As Payee (0960–0014) 

• SSA–623–F6, SSA–6230–F6, SSA– 

6234–F6, Representative Payee Report 

(Adult, Child, and Organizational 

Representative Payee) (0960–0068) 

• SSA–624–F5, Representative Payee 

Evaluation Report (0960–0069) 

• SSA–6233–BK, Representative Payee 

Report of Benefits and Dedicated 

Account (0960–0576) 

• SSA–1696–U4, Appointment of 

Representative (0960–0527) 

• SSA–4547 Advance Designation of 

Representative Payee (0960–0814) 

• SSA–2032–BK, Request for Waiver of 

Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) 

Overpayment Recovery or Change in 

Repayment Rate (0960–0698) 

This final rule does not require any 

changes to the forms listed above, nor 

will it affect public reporting burdens. 

Therefore, this final rule does not 

require OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act.

require written reports from your 

representative payee at least once a year 

(except as provided in paragraph (b) of 

this section and for certain State 

institutions that participate in a separate 

onsite review program). 

(b) Your representative payee is 

exempt from the accounting 

requirement when your representative 

payee is: 

(1) A natural or adoptive parent of a

(c) We may verify how your 

representative payee used your benefits. 

Your representative payee should keep

accounting period; 

(2) Who made the decisions on how 

your benefits were spent or saved; 

(3) How your benefit payments were

(a) Your representative payee must 

account for the use of your benefits. We 

require written reports from your 

representative payee at least once a year 

(except as provided in paragraph (b) of 

this section and for certain State 

institutions that participate in a separate 

onsite review program). 

(b) Your representative payee is 

exempt from the accounting 

requirement when your representative 

payee is: 

(1) A natural or adoptive parent of a 

minor child eligible for title XVI 

benefits who primarily resides in the 

same household as the beneficiary; 

(2) A legal guardian of a minor child 

eligible for title XVI benefits who 

primarily resides in the same household 

as the beneficiary; 

(3) A natural or adoptive parent of a 

disabled individual (as defined in 

section 1614(a)(3) of the Act) eligible for 

title XVI benefits who primarily resides 

in the same household as the 

beneficiary; or 

(4) The spouse of an individual 

eligible for title XVI benefits. 

(c) We may verify how your 

representative payee used your benefits. 

Your representative payee should keep 

records of how benefits were used in 

order to make accounting reports and 

must make those records available upon 

our request. If your representative payee 

fails to provide an annual accounting of 

benefits or other required reports, we 

may require your payee to receive your 

benefits in person at the local Social 

Security field office or a United States 

Government facility that we designate 

serving the area in which you reside. 

The decision to have your 

representative payee receive your 

benefits in person may be based on a 

variety of reasons. Some of these 

reasons may include the payee’s history 

of past performance or our past 

difficulty in contacting the payee. We 

may ask your representative payee to 

give us the following information: 

(1) Where you lived during the 

accounting period; 

(2) Who made the decisions on how 

your benefits were spent or saved; 

(3) How your benefit payments were 

used; and 

(4) How much of your benefit 

payments were saved and how the 

savings were invested.

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On January 6, 2022, the Maine 

Department of Transportation notified 

Sector Northern New England of an 

upcoming construction project on the 

Falls Bridge in Blue Hill, ME. In 

response, on April 22, 2022, the Coast 

Guard published a notice of purposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) titled ‘‘Safety Zone; 

Falls Bridge Project, Blue Hill, ME’’ (87 

FR 24088). There we stated why we 

issued the NPRM, and invited 

comments on our proposed regulatory 

action related to this construction 

project. During the comment period that 

ended May 23, 2022, we received one 

comment. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. The comment period for the 

NPRM associated with the Falls Bridge 

in Blue Hill, ME, Bridge replacement 

project ended on May 23, 2022. The 

construction project is scheduled to 

begin on July 1, 2022. Thus, there is 

now insufficient time for a 30 day 

effective period before the need to 

enforce the safety zone on July 1, 2022. 

The Maine Department of 

Transportation has awarded the job to a 

contractor and work is ready to begin. 

Delaying the enforcement of this safety 

zone to allow a 30 day effective period
