Summer Hours Update! The Up Center will be closing at 1:00 PM on Fridays every week until August 30, 2024.
Our Representative Payee Services program assists our clients by managing their monthly benefits, including Social Security benefits and Veterans benefits. We ensure all their major bills are paid, including rent, utilities, phone, insurance, and cable. We also distribute weekly checks from their own accounts to clients to ensure they have money throughout the month. We work with community partners including case managers and mental health counselors to ensure clients’ needs are being met.
Please note, we are not accepting new applications until July 1, 2024.
We provide financial support services to people who receive both disability and need based Social Security payments on a monthly basis. We also support dependents who are receiving their parent’s benefits and Veterans after we are contacted to become the fiduciary agent for their benefits. Our program protects vulnerable adults from being financially exploited and provides some stability. The program is not a voluntary program and the need has to be established by social security and/or a medical professional.
In 2020:
1,156 people with disabilities, including veterans, avoided institutionalization and were stabilized in the community through The Up Center’s bill paying services
