The Strengthening Protections for
Social Security Beneficiaries Act of
2018, Section 103(b) Questionnaire—
0960–NEW.
Background
SSA pays monthly benefits to
members of the public who qualify
under the Old Age, Survivors, and
Disability Insurance (OASDI) program
and who are eligible for the
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
program. Some claimants who qualify
for monthly payments under these
programs are unable to manage their
benefit payments. When SSA
determines program participants
incapable of managing or directing the
management of their benefits, SSA
sends the payments to a representative
payee on the beneficiary’s behalf. The
representative payee is a person or
organization designated by SSA to
manage OASDI or SSI payments to meet
the individual’s basic needs, such as
food, clothing, and shelter.
Explanation of Proposed Information
Collection Tool
To help ensure that appointed
representatives are acting in the best
interests of the claimants whom they
represent, Section 103(b) of the
Strengthening Protections for Social
Security Beneficiaries Act (SPSSBA),
Public Law 115–165, requires SSA to
assess the administrative feasibility of
improving information sharing with
State agencies that provide Adult
Protective Services about claimants with
representative payees. Specifically,
Section 103(b) of the SPSSBA asks us to
evaluate the following:
• The assessment of an individual’s
need for a representative payee in
connection with benefits to which the
individual is entitled under Title II or
Title XVI of the Social Security Act; and
• Oversight of the individuals and
organizations who are serving as
representative payees.
To conduct this evaluation, SSA
created the Strengthening Protections
for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of
2018, Section 103(b) Questionnaire. The
Questionnaire will assess the
representative payee data available from
each State and determine if the State is
willing to share the data it collects. We
will email this one-time questionnaire
to State agencies or non-governmental
entities that provide Adult Protective
Services, and will let them know that
participation in the questionnaire is
voluntary. We estimate we will receive
one response per respondent, with one
respondent per agency completing the
questionnaire on the agency’s behalf.
Our goal is to complete this study by
June 30, 2022, so we can submit the
required report to the Committee on
Ways and Means of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on
Finance of the Senate in accordance
with the SPSSBA’s mandates. The
Respondents are State agencies and nongovernmental entities that provide
Adult Protective Services to disability
claimants under our OASDI and SSI
programs.
Type of Request: This is a new
information collection.

The Strengthening Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of
2018, Section 103(b) Questionnaire--0960-NEW.
Background
SSA pays monthly benefits to members of the public who qualify
under the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program
and who are eligible for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
program. Some claimants who qualify for monthly payments under these
programs are unable to manage their benefit payments. When SSA

clothing, and shelter.
Explanation of Proposed Information Collection Tool
To help ensure that appointed representatives are acting in the
best interests of the claimants whom they represent, Section 103(b) of
the Strengthening Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act
(SPSSBA), Public Law 115-165, requires SSA to assess the administrative

the following:
The assessment of an individual's need for a

Oversight of the individuals and organizations who are

To conduct this evaluation, SSA created the Strengthening
Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018, Section
103(b) Questionnaire. The Questionnaire will assess the representative
payee data available from each State and determine if the State is
willing to share the data it collects. We will email this one-time
