Money Management Bill Payer

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Greater Lynn Senior Services, Inc.

  • 2 people are interested

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone, even a very busy person, to help an elderly community member in a very important way. Volunteer Bill Payers support elders in managing their monthly finances to aid independent living . Once Bill Payers have completed program training, they are matched with elders enrolled in our Money Management Program . While the elder maintains all decision making for finances, the bill payer will act as a support and assist them with managing and organizing monthly bills however they wish during monthly one-on-one meetings.

Volunteers will:

  • Organize and help pay bills in partnership with the elder

  • Help track accounts and balances

  • Write checks for those who need assistance

  • Mail bills or make payments on behalf of the elder

  • Partner with the elder to create a budget

  • Submit a monthly report detailing visits to Program Coordinators
