A program for individuals who have been informed by the Social Security Administration or Department of Veterans Affairs that they need to obtain an institutional payee/Fiduciary or who need assistance managing their benefits.
As your Rep Payee, we keep records of your monthly benefits received and how that money is spent. SSI/Social Security or veterans benefits are directly deposited in the Representative Payee or Fiduciary account, and the Rep Payee works with the consumer to manage funds and ensure that needs and payment obligations are being met.

- Access to information – benefits letter, budgets, etc.
- Access to services.
- Communication with county and other providers.
- Coordination of benefits – MA, GRH, MFIP, etc.
