Representative Payee Services

Our Representative Payee program is for individuals who receive Social Security or SSI benefits and need help managing their funds. We work directly with the Social Security Administration to make sure your rent, utilities, and daily needs are always covered. Any remaining funds are sent to you for personal expenses.

Veteran Payee Services

We are proud to serve those who have served. Our Veteran Payee program is specially designed for veterans receiving VA benefits who need support managing their funds. We work closely with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to make sure your finances are secure and your needs are covered—every month, without stress.
