P&A for Representative Payee (PARP)

Our PARP program protects Social Security beneficiaries that require the assistance of a representative payee from financial exploitation, abuse, and neglect. A representative payee is a person or an organization who assists someone who can’t manage or direct the management of their benefits. We review the performance of representative payees through beneficiary and payee interviews, onsite inspections, and a detailed review of financial and other documentation. These reviews ensure the wellbeing of beneficiaries while educating payees on how to better serve them.

Who is a Representative Payee? 

A Representative Payee is a person or an organization appointed by the Social Security Administration to receive the Social Security or SSI benefits for anyone who can’t manage or direct the management of their own benefits.

If you or someone you know has a Rep Payee and you want to have a payee review conducted, please contact DRNY.  We also provide educational assistance to Rep Payees and beneficiaries.

SSA also has helpful guides on the duties and responsibilities of Rep Payees on their website at https://www.ssa.gov/payee.
