Answer:
Social Security prefers to sent checks directly to the beneficiary. SSA doesn't allow a power of attorney to be used to sign another's check, but instead a representative payee may be named. However, a representative payee is only named when the beneficiary is physically or mentally unable to manage their own financial affairs.
