Additional Information
10 years ago, I became a representative of Payee and advocate for a client that I took on one my own. I enjoy doing this because I found that I enjoyed looking for resources that helped him gain a better quality of life, I also enjoyed helping the client fill out important paper work to gain SSD and Medicaid. I made phone calls to help find housing for them, went to doctor appointments to help them ask questions they never thought of, and I continue to fill out the necessary forms to report how his money is being used. It makes me feel good to see people receive the help they need through resources that I find for them.
