That sounds suspect to me. Maybe not suspect but kind of a ripoff. $80 just to pay your bills for you? You won't be making much with ssi, I know when I was on ssi I couldn't afford to spend 80 a month on something like that. Can't you just take the money out in cash and keep it in your house somewhere? I know it's not as safe but if you need less than 2k in your account that's what I would do. I wouldn't give anyone control over my money but that's just me. Maybe it would be easier for you.
