Let The Arc help you manage your finances

A Representative Payee (Rep Payee) is the person who will assist you with your finances. Social Security usually decides that you need a payee because they have information that indicates you need help in managing your money. The Rep Payee maintains your individual accounts and is responsible for ensuring that your bills are paid and a budget is maintained.  Your payee must keep accurate records of how they spend your money. Your payee must also regularly report this information to the local Social Security office.  If you have any questions or are interested in this service please call 507-433-8994 or email office@thearcmc.org.
