I am the guardian of my adult son. Is he able to make changes without me on the account?

I’ve since re-entered the job market, should the social security administration increase my benefits to what it was originally when I working before?

I am getting to old for this responsibility. My son needs a direct express card, he is capable of managing his money in my honest opinion. How can I see this happen?

Hi, Mariah. Thanks for visiting our blog. First, you must take care of your son’s day-to-day needs such as food and shelter. For more information about how you must use the monthly benefits as his representative payee, please read our publication, A Guide for Representative Payees. We hope this helps.
