Money Management Program

Volunteers for the Money Management Program can choose to be "Bill Payers" or "Representative Payees" for individuals who have no family member or friend willing or able to serve in that capacity.
The Money Management Program is a less restrictive
alternative to guardianship.  Many of the clients live alone and in isolation, and they all recognize their need for our services.  The clients are matched with well-trained, qualified volunteers.

Bill Payer Program:

  • Reads and sorts mail
  • Pays bills
  • Writes checks (all checks are signed by the client)
  • Balances check register to bank account
  • Maintains records and files
  • Reports to GSI
The client maintains control and makes decisions
concerning his or her finances. The volunteer assists
exclusively with tasks the client is unable to perform.


 Representative Payee Program:

  • Receives and manages government benefits (i.e., Social Security)
  • Ensures that the individual client's basic needs are met
  • Reports to GSI
  • Visits with the client to assess whether basic needs are being met
  • Performs bill paying and balancing activities for the
    client.
The volunteer representative payee is responsible for
dedicating and allocating the client's government funds in order to meet the client's basic needs (such as food, clothing and shelter).
