My family member is my representative payee and having trouble with him cashing my check! Got paid friday, he left town without cashing my check, and have had no food or money to live on! What can I do about this? Any suggestions, please? Thanks!
Recourse when representative payee not available
If your representative payee is not providing benefits to you, it is possible for Social Security to issue benefits directly to you while a new representative payee is found.
