Representative Payee
Financial decisions and day to day bill paying can be difficult for someone that has a disability or is struggling to make ends meet. House Calls of Menomonie, Inc. can support those in this situation by becoming their Representative Payee. We treat our clients with respect and dignity, ensuring support to live as independently as possible.
While most people receive their Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments directly, some individuals need assistance in managing their benefits. Payments to these individuals are paid through a representative payee who receives the check on behalf of the beneficiary and provides for their personal needs. It is our responsibility as your representative payee to use your funds to pay for your current needs such as rent, utilities, groceries, etc. as well as personal spending and recreation. Any money not utilized during the month will be saved for future needs.
House Calls of Menomonie, Inc. serve over 25 Counties throughout Wisconsin and have satellite offices in Marshfield, WI and Spooner, WI. For more information on how we can help you or a loved one, please call House Calls of Menomonie, Inc. at 715-232-6475 or toll free at 888-232 6475.
