Bill Payer Program

The Bill Payer Program uses social workers to visit eligible older adults at home and match them with a volunteer who can help clients write out checks and ensure that their monthly bills are paid and their budgets are balanced.

The Bill Payer Program DOES NOT:

Handle credit card debt cases
Provide financial assistance

You can learn how to enroll in the program. You can also learn how to become a volunteer.

To be eligible for free Bill Payer Program services, you must:

Have a yearly income of $60,000 or less

To enroll, contact a case management agency. A Bill Payer representative will make a one-time visit to your home to help with your budget and enroll you in the program. After that, the program will continue to review and process the payment of your bills each month and inform you of any discrepancies or potential fraud.
