Representative Payee

 

            Society’s Assets is a Representative Payee for individuals that are not able to manage all their finances.  The Representative Payee will make sure the individual’s basic needs are met.   

            This includes payment of:  

    Rent/mortgage

    Utilities

    Telephone

    Groceries

    Pharmacy/medical bills

    Other necessary payments

 

            Arrangements are made for the individual’s Social Security check to be deposited directly into the Representative Payee bank account each month.  Bills are sent directly to the Representative Payee or agency for payment and monthly budget sheets are available to show how funds are spent.  In addition, the Representative Payee can report changes to Social Security or family members, and is able to provide additional information on other services such as housing subsidies, food stamps, and work incentives.
