Doesn't your payee give your a certain amount of "spending cash" for each week? The people who I knew from group therapy that had payees got a set amount each week like $20 or so that they used to buy sodas and stuff.

Night owl here too. Nice to meet you.
yes ssa would not release funds until I brought my payee to their office to set it up, I dont really think its necessary but in a way it is because I messed up so badly with my bank accounts in Buffalo that I cant get a bank account in my own name where I live now In Colorado Springs. I used to spend money on everything except wht I was supposed to spend it on but I learned my lesson and it reallly isn't an issue i"M actually pretty tight with my money now. Yes my payee gives me mad money to spend on what I like, its all good I just hate it tho LOL, Nice to meet u too, g'nite.
