Money Manager

The Money Management Program is a free bill paying service that uses  trained volunteers help people balance their checkbooks, fill out their checks and organize their bills.

This program can help people in a variety of circumstances, such as someone who has vision problems or who has difficulty writing checks, someone with mild memory loss, who can’t remember if a bill was paid or someone whose family can no longer help them balance their checkbook.

Trained Volunteer Bill Payers serve clients who, at all times remain in charge of their own financial affairs but need some help organizing their bills and checkbooks.

The volunteers help the client to manage monthly income and bills, balance the  checkbook, write checks which the client’s then signs, and assists the client with paperwork related to bill paying.

It is important to note that program participants must be able to physically sign their own checks, and have a full understanding of how MMP works.

The participants are always in full control of their accounts and volunteer bill payers do not sign checks for the client and do not have access to the person’s account.

Participants and volunteers sign a contract of understanding so they each know what to expect from the other. To volunteer to help out or for more information contact us at 1-800-439-1789; carolfitzherbert@aroostookaging.org.
