Setoff of Rep Payee Account

Answered by: 

Question: 
Do we have the right to setoff on a representative payee account (without Social Security deposits)? The delinquent mortgage was taken out by the beneficiary, and now the payments are not being made.
Answer: 

No. The representative payee is responsible for managing these assets. The beneficiary has no authority to access these funds and neither does the bank.
