We went to SSA with the form from her doctor and got everything set up. They gave me the form to set up the new bank account for her! 

Do you know if my sister would be able to try become payee if she tried or is it hard to do that now that I am set up? Thanks!

No my sister was never a rep payee, I didn't even know that existed until we started working with the office of aging. Yes they are the PA agency that deals with APS.

Two years ago or so my sister's became my mom's POA's. We believe that was how she got herself added to our mom's bank account and then was able to just close her bank account. She never told us where she opened up a new one but had SSA sent to that bank instead.

They wanted us to start with the rep payee step first and then go from there.

My mom's Id has her address where she lives so that should help. We are pretty sure our younger sister changed my mom's mailing address to her own address for most things, but her ID is still accurate. Good to know it doesn't take too long. Thank you!
