Social Security Representative Xxxxx and Other Government Benefit Accounts. At our option, we may issue shares and accept deposits in Accounts established in a member’s name and for the member’s benefit by an individual appointed as a Social Security “Representative Payee.” Funds in a Social Security Representative Payee Account are owned by the member beneficiary. Only the Representative Xxxxx, however, shall have direct access to the funds on deposit. If an Account is opened, you (whether as beneficiary or as Representative Xxxxx) agree that we may accept deposits including direct deposits from the Social Security Administration, that we may permit withdrawals from the Account by the Representative Payee through such means as we may prescribe from time to time, and that we may restrict access to the Account by the beneficiary. You agree that the Representative Xxxxx alone will be responsible for compliance with the Rules of the Social Security Administration governing such Accounts. You agree that if we make payment to or at the direction of a Representative Xxxxx, any such payment shall be valid and shall discharge us from any liability for the sums paid. You agree that we may rely upon any appointment of a Representative Xxxxx that is valid on its face, that we will have no fiduciary responsibility or obligation in connection with any such Account beyond our obligations set forth in this Agreement, and that we will have no duty to oversee the application by a Representative Payee of any funds withdrawn from the Account. You agree that, if any deposit to an Account is subsequently reversed, whether by the Social Security Administration or otherwise, we may transfer funds in other Accounts held by the beneficiary or the Representative Payee in order to cure any overdraft that may occur as a result of such reversal. You agree to save, indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, suit, or other charge by any person or entity arising out of or resulting from the establishment, maintenance, and transaction of any business related to a Social Security Representative Payee Account or any other Account designated for the receipt of government benefits.
