Family Counseling Service's Representative Payee Department has been working to provide quality payee services to individuals in need since 2003 by helping manage their finances through various circumstances. If you find yourself struggling with your finances, whether it is because you live on a fixed income or for any other reason, this is the agency for you. We work to always treat our clients with the respect and consideration they deserve by providing a safe and supportive financially focused environment.
We offer bill pay services to those with cognitive or physical impairments that impact the ability to physically go out and pay bills or to accurately build and maintain a budget. Family Counseling Service's Representative Payee Department offers peace of mind in knowing bills are paid on time, in full, every month.
Family Counseling Service’s Representative Payee Department is certified and recognized as a Representative Payee Service by both the Veteran’s Administration and the Social Security Administration. If you or someone you know has been ordered to have a payee, we can help.
Family Counseling Service accepts clients that are on a fixed income including Social Security Income (SSA, SSI, and SSDI), Veteran's Pension Income (VA), Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), retirement pension, or direct deposit from an employee.
At Family Counseling Service, we recognize the financial strain individuals face, and we work to keep our fees as low as possible. We maintain full transparency so that you can see what fees and transactions have occurred. We ensure accurate and confidential documentation for each transaction and each client.
Fees for payee services begin at $54 per month, however, we may charge up to 10% of an individual’s total income.
The process for approval often takes 6 weeks at minimum.
