Representative Payee Program

Representative Payee Program


  

Inspired by Christ’s call to care for the most vulnerable among us (Matthew 25:40), the Representative Payee Program provides faithful stewardship of financial resources for individuals who need assistance managing their Social Security or other benefits. Through ethical management and compassionate support, we work with clients to ensure basic needs such as housing, food, and utilities are met. In honoring the dignity of each person as created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), we accompany those facing disability, mental health challenges, or crisis toward stability, independence, and renewed hope.


 

The Representative Payee Program protects vulnerable adults by ensuring their income is managed responsibly to meet essential needs such as housing, food, and utilities. This service not only safeguards individuals but often relieves the financial management burden placed on family members, allowing them to focus on being present as loved ones rather than financial managers.


To access Representative Payee services, individuals must be willing to participate in the program and provide a physician’s statement verifying that assistance is needed to manage their income and benefits safely and effectively.
