We will give you help with your money management to the extent that you need help.

We may help you decide what you want to buy, or how you want to pay for something. You will have personal spending money taken from your own funds.

We will help you keep an interest-bearing personal savings account. If you are ready for a checking account, we will help you with that, too.

If you want to keep your own spending money, we will help you keep track of it. If you want us to lock your money in a safe place, we will do that for you.

We will always keep a record of your personal funds account, and will mark down each time you put money into your account, or take money out of your account.

We will keep a receipt of all you buy, and you and/or your guardian will get a record of your money transactions on a quarterly basis. Any time you want someone to explain to you about your money, just ask.

If you live in a CILA program, you will get Social Security money and possibly food stamps each month along with any money from your jobs or day program.

If you live in an ICF/DD group home, you will receive $30.00 each month from your SSI monies. The rest of your SSI monies will go to for the cost of your care. This is a state regulation which we must follow.
