WHAT A PAYEE DOES FOR YOU?
Your payee at Twin Ports Guardianship & Payee Services receives your monthly benefits and must use the money to pay for your current needs including:
- Housing & Utilities
- Food
- Medical & Dental
- Personal care items
- Clothing
- Rehabilitation expenses if you are disabled
After the above expenses are paid, your payee can use the rest of the money to pay any past due bills you may have incurred, give you spending money, support your dependents or provide entertainment for you. If there is money left over, your payee should save it for you.
Your Account Representative with Twin Ports Guardianship & Payee Services will keep accurate records of your money and how it is spent. Your payee is also required to regularly report the information to the Social Security Administration. You can also receive information on how your money is spent and request a copy by speaking to your representative.
