Rep Payee Problem In Arizona


Two Tucson brothers who operated a service that managed Social Security checks for the elderly and disabled pleaded guilty for their roles in a $1.3 million embezzlement case.

Robert Lee Skaggs, 57, and Ray T. Skaggs, 42, pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy, mail fraud and conversion of security payee funds, according to a U.S. Attorney's Office news release.

The brothers, along with their sister Jo Ann Skaggs, operated SCOPE payee services, which paid bills and distributed social security money for recipients not able to manage their own expenses.

Childishness alone,without a legitimate emotional,intellectual impairment,isn't a disability.
