The Money Management/Representative Payee Program provides money management services (much like banking and budget planning) to persons who are unable to manage their own finances due to a physical or mental disability. This allows disabled persons to remain in their homes with dignity and security.

About the OUTREACH Money Management Program

People whose health and independence are threatened by their inability to manage their own financial affairs get personal help managing their limited resources. OUTREACH counselors develop a personal budget and plan for each of nearly 800 people in the program, arrange for electronic deposits into personal accounts, manage the funds, electronically pay bills or issue checks, and deal with any problems.

Why Do I Wish OUTREACH To Help Me With Managing My Money?

• Maybe you have trouble balancing your check book.
• Perhaps you sometimes lose checks or misplace your bills.
• No friend or family member to help you with your bills.
• Perhaps other people have tried to take advantage of you and your money and you are uncertain about what to do.
• Maybe you have health problems that keep you from signing your checks or mailing your bills on time.
• Maybe you have considered getting professional assistance with your finances but could not afford the high cost.
• Maybe you did not know who to call.
  

If you are a senior or disabled adult and need assistance managing your finances so that you can remain independent and self-sufficient, OUTREACH may be able to help. Call OUTREACH at (408) 436-2865.
