For persons receiving benefits from the Social Security Administration and with a demonstrated need of assistance with money management, Community Support Services offers a representative payee program. A Benefits Specialist or a Community Rehabilitation Specialist will develop and periodically review a budget with persons on payeeship to ensure rent, utilities, and other basic needs are met. Most persons receiving payeeship services will use a debit card to access discretionary funds. A primary intent of the program is to assist persons to live independently through responsible living and money management.
