Money Management

Money Management Program (MMP)

The Money Management Program is a bill paying service developed by AARP and coordinated by the New Jersey Division of Aging and Community Services. The goal of the service is to provide guidance and non-intrusive bill paying assistance to maximize client independence. It provides older or disabled people with volunteer assistance in budgeting, processing of routine bills, check writing, managing financial matters and/or reconciling bank accounts.

Fully trained and screened volunteer bill payers are matched by the program coordinator with clients in need of service. They set up a budget, organize bills and prepare checks for the client's signature. Volunteer monitors regularly review volunteer bill payer reports, comparing them with the established budget, bank statements and canceled checks.

In New Jersey, the following counties have this program: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Hunterdon, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Somerset, Sussex and Warren. Camden, Gloucester and Salem Counties will be opening programs during 2011.
