The main objective of Rep Payee Services is to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive and manage their government benefits in a way that best meets their needs, promotes their well-being, and safeguards their financial security. Some individuals with disabilities may have difficulty handling money due to cognitive or physical limitations, making them vulnerable to financial exploitation or mismanagement.

It's essential to note that the appointment of a representative payee is not intended to strip individuals of their independence but rather to provide them with the necessary support to manage their finances effectively and ensure their financial security. Efforts are made to involve the individual in decision-making whenever possible and to respect their wishes and preferences within the bounds of their capabilities.
