Social Security Payee Programs And Financial Counseling

HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN FINANCIAL SECURITY

The Breakthrough Representative Payee Program provides the unique element of one-on-one connection between our volunteers and our clients, a relationship that has the potential for real and lasting change to happen in someone’s life.

There are different types of benefits available to persons in distress, those living in poverty and those receiving disability income. It’s often the only income our program participants receive and live on. The average income for our clients is approximately $734 per month.

Recipients, because of disabilities ranging from insecure living situations, mental illness, physical disabilities, substance abuse, or developmental disabilities, are required by the SSA to have an assigned Payee to receive and manage their income. In addition to Social Security, examples of other benefits include VA benefits, Railroad Retirement, private pensions and widow annuities.

We operate the largest Organizational Representative Payee program in the state for vulnerable recipients of Social Security benefits.

The Organizational Representative Payee program has served hundreds in our community throughout the last 20 years and currently serves more than 450 clients from Wichita and across the state. Our staff and 45 volunteers work to provide each client with assistance in maintaining an independent lifestyle.
