National Family Caregivers Month
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Each November, we observe National Family Caregivers Month. During this time, we recognize those who provide care to our most vulnerable citizens.
We work closely with caregivers to assist our beneficiaries who are unable to manage their own benefits. In these situations, we may appoint a qualified family member, friend, or interested third party to serve as a representative payee and conduct business on behalf of the beneficiary.
To learn more about the representative payee program, please visit https://www.ssa.gov/payee/. Please share this information with your clients, members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
Stephen McGraw
Acting Deputy Associate Commissioner
Office of Strategic and Digital Communications
