Wayne Township's Payee Program
Helping Citizens Manage their Money
In an effort to further serve the citizens of Wayne Township, the Payee Program was implemented in January 2001. This free program ensures that the current needs of social security beneficiary’s are met on a monthly basis. This includes food, shelter, medical care and other items for the beneficiary’s personal comfort. If any money is left after meeting day-to-day and personal needs, it is saved. Social Security benefits are directly deposited into a bank account. This method is safe and secure.
Program Requirements...
- Must be a beneficiary of some type of Social Security.
- Must be 18 years of age or older.
- Must be a resident of Wayne Township.
- Must be deemed by a physician unable to manage their own financial affairs.
- DO NOT have to be recipients of Wayne Township’s Township Assistance.
More Financial Stability
The Social Security Administration and the beneficiary are updated on expenses paid and the use of benefits received, as well as, amount of any benefits saved for the beneficiary.
More Housing Stability
By making direct payments to landlords & utility companies in a timely manner, participants are better protected against eviction, homelessness, late fees, and utility disconnection.
Our mission is to provide the best possible services to the people who are unable to provide for their basic needs, while protecting taxpayers resources. We are very proud to provide this program, as it accomplishes just that.
