income exclusion for SSI/SSDI representative fees

Revised October 28, 2007

Basic Food policy states that the fee paid to a representative payee on behalf of a person receiving SSI or SSDI income is excluded as Basic Food income when set up by SSA for an SSI / SSDI recipient and the fee does not exceed the lesser of 10% of the monthly payment or $25.  See EA-Z Manual Income - Treatment of Income – Treatment of Income Chart - Representative Payee Fees Enter Valid Value [PP] in the Exp field at the top of the UNER with the amount and a verification code. ACES does not count the protective payee fee as income in the Basic Food benefit calculation. Because this is an income exclusion and not a deduction it does not display as a separate amount on theFSFI. The gross income amount on the FSFI is the amount after the deduction for payee's fee.

NOTE: ACES will not cap this income exclusion at the $25 limit. The representative payee fee entered here must be $25 or 10% or the monthly payment amount whichever is less.
