Representative Payee Program

The Wayne Township Social Security Representative Payee Program is a free program 
that ensures that the  basic needs of a social security beneficiary are met.
This includes: food, shelter, utilities, medical and dental care, and other items needed for 
the beneficiary's personal comfort.

This office may also pay life insurance, budgeted amounts to pay off existing debt and 
medical bills, house and car insurance, burial trusts, and court related expenses. After basic 
needs are met, (and savings contribution is made) the individual receives a weekly 
spending allotment for food, personal items and miscellaneous spending. 100% of the 
clients funds are distributed to him or her - the trustee's office charges them no fees.

Program requirements
  • Must be a beneficiary of some type of Social Security
  • Must reside in Wayne Township
  • The Social Security office must either ask us to be an individual's payee or approve 
    the individual's request that we be his or her payee.

Program Outcome: Financial and Housing Stability
By making direct payments to landlords, utility companies, and other vendors in a timely 
manner,our clients are protected against eviction, homelessness, late fees, utility 
disconnects or reconnects. With our experienced staff advocating for each client, they are 
much less likely to be charged unreasonable fees to otherwise taken advantage of by 
predatory vendors.

Our mission is to provide the best possible services to all those we serve. We are proud to 
provide this service.

If you or someone you know would like to participate in the Payee Program , or would like 
more information about it, Please call the Trustee's office and ask to speak to Susan @ 973-9392.
