CONTACT: Tiffany Acord, (740) 477-1655
SERVICES:
As a Representative Payee, PICCA will be responsible for
receiving the beneficiary’s monthly check and to keep track
of what is spent on the beneficiary’s behalf deciding how
benefits can best be used for his or her personal care and
well-being.
For a small monthly fee, which is set by the Social Security
Administration and other fixed income sources, PICCA will
work with customers that receive Social Security or other
fixed incomes who reside in Pickaway County to design a
budget that meets his or her needs. The customers’ income
check is direct deposited into an interest-bearing bank
account designated for PICCA Payee Services. The funds are
disbursed first for shelter expenses such as rent, utilities, and
food, then budgeted accordingly for other expenses the
customer may have.
Spending money is provided for the beneficiary, based on
what the budget allows after monthly obligations have been
paid. PICCA will encourage customers to develop budgeting
and money management skills with the hope that some
customers might eventually be able to manage their funds
independently.
PICCA accountants will provide bookkeeping for each
beneficiary in the agency’s software system. Bank
statements will be checked against the software reports for
accuracy.
