Improving Representative Payeeship for People With Psychiatric Disabilities and Their Families
Representative payees, mostly family members, manage Social Security Administration funds of more than one million people with psychiatric disabilities. Although studies show payeeship can be used coercively, foster dependency, reduce work incentives, lead to family conflict and even violence, there has been little systematic research on how to lower these significant barriers to community integration.
The investigators' long term goal is to promote recovery among adults with psychiatric disabilities who have payees by reducing downsides associated with what has been called "the nation's largest guardianship system." The investigators' objective in the current application is to evaluate a pilot-tested, stakeholder-informed intervention that is grounded in principles of psychiatric rehabilitation and encourages consumers with psychiatric disabilities and their family members to collaborate within the representative payee arrangement.

Подробное описание
To do this, we will test the Steps for Achieving Financial Empowerment (SAFE) intervention by randomly assigning N=200 consumer-family payee dyads into one of two groups: (a) the SAFE intervention (n=100); or (b) a "usual care" control (n=100). The SAFE is a brief, 5 component educational intervention that aims to facilitate a cooperative consumer-payee relationship, increase accurate knowledge about representative payeeship, promote collaborative money management and effective budgeting, and prepare mutually developed plans for carrying out the payeeship in the future.
We will interview people with psychiatric disabilities and their family payees at baseline and six-months. This study aims to examine the effects of the SAFE intervention on community participation, employment, and family support of adults with psychiatric disabilities who have family representative payees. Our central hypothesis, based on strong preliminary data, is that the SAFE will benefit consumers by enhancing autonomy, boosting motivation to work, and reducing family conflict.
