Social Security Disability Representative Is Spouse Of DISABILITY Beneficiary Automatically Made The Representative Payee?

Is spouse of DISABILITY beneficiary automatically made the representative payee? - social security disability representative

This question just came to mind as I remember, two decades ago, each beneficiary representatives of the family of her husband. I know that there is absolutely nothing that I had to do, and it was automatically REP. Because it take mentally incompetent to make decisions, etc. I think the proposal was raised by the Social Security itself.

Today, however, seems more difficult for people who are their representatives, as in the case of seniors, because it seems you have to be measured in many ways. Can you throw some light on this?
