SSI Check Deposit Account Restrictions

Answered by: 
John Burnett

Question: 
Can a representative payee on a Social Security Income check deposit the check in his personal account? This is in Pennsylvania if that matters.
Answer: 

Social security rules require that the Representative Payee keep the Social Security funds separate from personal funds. Depositing the Social Security check (or allowing it to be directly deposited) to a personal account of the representative payee is not allowed.
