2. (Banking & Finance) a person to whom money is paid or due
you are owed the $$$, or someone in your care is owed the $$$, and checks etc made out to you for you to handle.
Tom (made up name) has never had a bank account, he mostly works off books, his SS amount will be minute, he'll still cut grass, shovel snow and do scut stuff. I talked him today about this honor he has shown me....tomorrow we'll go open an account at a nearby credit union so he has a place to have the money deposited.
and if you are 'payee,' you'll have responsibility to see to it that the funds are available for his use.
