What is the name of your state? NJ I just received a letter from Social Security telling me that I have been chosen to be my son's Representative Payee. It came with a booklet explaining all my responsibilities as the Rep Payee. My question is, in the booklet, they keep referring to responsiblities of a person who is collecting SSI. My son is collecting SSDI from monies his father was approved for after working a good majority of his life. He is not collecting SSI. Do the same rules apply? For instance, it states that as a payee, I cannot have more that $2,000.00 in savings. I don't make a great amount of money where I work but.....I do work. Does this mean I am not allowed to have more than $2,000.00 in a savings account for myself. I could understand if he was collecting SSI, as that is government monies, but he is collecting from his father's disability. Are my responsibilities different from those that are collecting SSI or are they the same?
Any help is appreciated.
