Bill Paying

Are you frustrated with balancing your checkbook? Have those bills gotten out of control and you can’t decide where to begin? Are you new at managing family finances?

SAGE Eldercare’s Bill Paying Service assists seniors who are able to make responsible decisions about their financial affairs but who may be physically impaired, have a debilitating illness, or have recently lost their spouse who was the sole manager of the household finances.

SAGE Eldercare’s experienced volunteers can help with:
• Sorting mail.
• Reviewing bills to determine proper payment.
• Preparing checks for client signatures.
• Reconciling checking accounts.
• Budgeting monthly income and expenses.
• Setting up files and organizing paperwork.
• Organizing financial records for use in tax preparation or estate planning.
• Providing instruction for managing finances independently and efficiently.

The Bill Paying Service is available to people age 60 and over who are residents of northern Union County or live in the towns of Millburn, Short Hills or Chatham. There is a small fee for this service.
