Who is there to look out for those who can no longer look out for themselves? The Representative Payee program promotes independent living for people who are at risk when they cannot manage their financial affairs and cannot rely on help from friends and family.

Often the Social Security Administration or some other payee source requires those at-risk individuals to have someone oversee their financial accounts and the payment of their monthly bills. This is a role Catholic Charities can fill.

Eligibility criteria

The process begins with telephone intake and requires paperwork from the Social Security Administration and/or other financial income sources.

Cost is fee-based and clients must be 18 years or older.
