The Representative Payee Program at the Mental Health Association helps individuals who are unable manage bills and personal budgets.

 

The representative payee program seeks to:

 

1) Provide services to individuals with a documented mental illness or intellectual disability.

 

2) Assist individuals with finding additional resources/services

 

3) Help an individual maintain housing and personal needs

 

4) Teach budgeting and planning skills

 

The client must be a Butler County resident; over age 18 and receive some form of Social Security income. Clients can live in the community, a nursing home, boarding home or other residential facility.  Clients are encouraged to have other supports, such as family,  blended case manager, psychiatric rehabilitation services and outpatient therapy.

 

If you have additional questions, please contact the representative payee supervisor, Jennifer Dearth, at 724-287-1965, or by e-mail at jdearth@sphs.org.
