Payee Services

Payee services provide financial management for individuals who cannot manage their money on their own. As a representative payee, we receive benefits like Social Security income on behalf of the individual and use those funds to pay for essential expenses such as housing, food, utilities, and personal needs. This service ensures financial stability and helps prevent misuse of funds.

Payee services are typically for adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities who require assistance managing their finances. In most cases, a court or the Social Security Administration appoints a representative payee when someone is determined unable to handle their own money. This service is available to anyone whom the courts have deemed it necessary to have a representative payee. We work closely with families, case managers, and agencies to confirm eligibility and coordinate care that meets each person’s unique needs.

While Social Security and disability benefits are the most common, we can also manage other income streams as needed. Our team ensures that all financial activity aligns with agency requirements and supports the individual’s best interests.

Getting started often involves coordination with your local Social Security office or County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Families and caregivers can also reach out to us directly for guidance. We’ll walk you through the process and help determine if payee services are appropriate.
