Question regarding accounts

So. My grandmother is my SSI payee, and I was wondering if I would be able to link my Paypal to the account that it goes to? Since it does have my name on it I'm not exactly sure how that would work so I'd figure to ask here. Or would she have to make an account to then transfer to me?

Don’t link a financial account that is not under your name to your PayPal account.

 

It’s better to Zelle the money from your grandma’s bank account to your bank account if you don’t want your funds frozen. Then if you link your bank account to your PayPal it’s possible to pay with your bank account or associated debit card for purchases.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Why would the funds be frozen if both accounts have my name? the account is named [her name] for [my name]
