By becoming the Representative Payee, Catholic Charities assumes the financial management responsibilities for people who because of severe mental or physical limitations or may be subject to family exploitation, are unable to manage their own finances. The Payee Program provides assistance to the most vulnerable members of the community; the young, the elderly, and the disabled who are unable to manage their SSA, SSI, and or VA benefits.
