Summary
Social Security Program Protection Act of 2002 - Amends Social Security Act provisions to direct, with certain limitations, the Commissioner of Social Security to fully reimburse Social Security beneficiaries for any part of their benefit that was misused by a representative payee. Defines misuse of benefits. Establishes that a representative payee that is not a Federal, State or local government agency will be held liable for misuse of funds and for lying or withholding information relevant to his right to be a representative. Forbids a prospective representative of a beneficiary from serving if he has been convicted of any offense under Federal or State law resulting in imprisonment for more than one year unless the Commissioner deems it appropriate. Forbids a fugitive felon from serving as a representative. Identifies attorneys who have received certain sanctions as ineligible to be representatives. Establishes that certain individuals fleeing prosecution or confinement shall not be allowed benefits unless the Commissioner finds good cause to allow them. Forbids benefits from being distributed to individuals violating probation or parole under State or Federal law. Forbids payment of benefits to individuals removed from the United States. Sets cap of $100 on assessments owed by attorney representatives upon receiving payments for past-due benefits. Sets cap of 25% of the amount of payment of past-due benefits for a payment from the Commissioner to an attorney representative. Defines "disabled beneficiary." Extends availability of federal and state work incentive services to additional individuals.
