ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER MONEY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM | SHAWNEE HEALTH SERVICE
Provides assistance to limited-income seniors who need help managing their finances. The level of care provided is based on the need of the person. The goal of the program is to assist low-income seniors and persons with disability (who are financially exploited) to assure independence and to prevent pre-mature institutional care and abuse. The Volunteer Money Management Program helps with such bill-paying activities as opening and organizing mail, setting up budgets, and balancing checkbooks for seniors who remain in control of their finances, but need some help keeping things in order. Representative Payee volunteers help clients manage their Social Security benefits, if the client is unable to handle his or her own finances. The Representative Payee volunteer manages and pays the client's expenses from an account into which the Social Security benefit is automatically deposited.
