Money Management
The Money Management Program was developed to assist Members who have difficulty writing checks, balancing their check books and managing their money. Some of these Members may be homebound, visually impaired, confused and without family nearby to help.
The service helps Members who might be at risk of losing their independence due to their inability to pay basic rent, food and utility bills on time. The purpose of the Money Management Program is to promote independent living for Members with limitations; who are at risk because of barriers to manage their financial affairs.
The Money Management Program Services Offered:
A trained, supervised Personal Care Liaison is carefully matched one-on-one with a Member needing assistance. The Personal Care Liaison meets virtually or goes to the person’s home at least monthly to help keep track of income and expenses.
Two levels of assistance are available: bill payer and representative payee.
-
Bill Payer
This service assists Members by developing a budget, writing checks and balancing their checkbook. Members make all their own decisions and sign their checks.
-
Representative Payee
This service helps Members who are not able to manage their own finances. Hueman Kind applies to the Social Security Administration (SSA), which includes a Member’s agreement form and Physician’s statement validating the client’s need. Once approved by SSA, a rep payee account is opened in the Member’s name and the Hueman Kind writes and signs checks from this account to pay the client’s bills. This is a fee for service program.
