Representative Payee

Achieva is pleased to offer Representative Payee Services to our trust beneficiaries. Recognizing the important role these services play in future planning and the peace of mind they provide to families, we are proud to offer this valuable support.

What is a Representative Payee?

A Representative Payee is a person or organization appointed to receive and manage Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for people who may need assistance managing their finances.

Representative Payee services provide the security of professional money management through a safe and organized approach. This includes managing checking accounts, tracking and maintaining payments and savings, and allocating funds for day-to-day living expenses—all while adhering to Social Security Administration guidelines.
