2006 Oregon Money Management Survey: Summary of Agency Findings 1

Background The U.S Bureau of the Census conducts the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to collect data on labor force, income, and program participation characteristics to help estimate the effectiveness of government aid and support programs.1 From the SIPP Disability Module fielded in 1999, it is estimated that 2.2 percent of the 18+ population in the U.S. have difficulty keeping track of money or bills because of a physical or mental health condition. As one might expect, this proportion tends to increase with age, with about nine percent of those age 75 to 84 reporting such difficulty, and 22 percent of those age 85 and older. Overall, about seven percent of the U.S. 65+ population report money management difficulties. For over a decade, the AARP Money Management Program (MMP) has attempted to prolong independent living for low-income older and disabled persons. The AARP Foundation currently administers the MMP. The program focuses on people who are at risk of losing their independence due to the inability to manage their financial affairs. The Money Management Program (MMP) agencies use volunteers (see footnote) who are trained, supervised, monitored, and partially insured to provide assistance with money management for those who are unable to manage on their own. 2 The program meets a continuum of ordinary money management needs for its clients. Volunteers help clients organize and keep track of financial papers, establish budgets, write checks, balance checkbooks, and serve as representative payees, if needed. These services allow clients to retain significant independence while preventing financial mishaps from occurring, such as being evicted for nonpayment of rent or not having enough money by month’s end to pay for food and other necessities. Because most of the clients live alone, the volunteers are also providing secondary services, which to some clients are even more valuable. These secondary services include socialization and companionship, accessing eligibility for financial benefits, and shopping with or for the clients. Currently, the AARP Foundation supports three Money Management Programs in Oregon. This assessment was conducted to better understand the need for expanding the money management services in Oregon. The key component of this assessment is a survey of organizations from across the state that had been identified as possible sources of money management assistance.

2006 Oregon Money Management Survey: Summary of Agency Findings 2

Methodology AARP Oregon commissioned a survey to assess the need for expanding a state-wide Money Management Program. Two different list-assisted samples were obtained. One sample consisted of a list of social services agencies or organizations compiled by the AARP Oregon state office that are believed to have contact with individuals with money management issues. Because this is a convenience sample, it is not truly representative of all social service or human service agencies in the state of Oregon. The other sample came from a list of members of the Oregon Bankers Association (OBA). AARP Oregon has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the OBA who expressed interest in the Money Management Program, and offered feedback from their members to help AARP determine where such services might most be needed. Because this sample came from a list of association members, it is not truly representative of all banking institutions in the state of Oregon. AARP State Member Research used a multi-contact approach to get organizations to respond to the survey. Each organization in both samples was sent a pre-notification letter, a cover letter and survey, and a reminder postcard. Organizations not responding to the initial survey were mailed a second cover letter and survey. While the agency sample was mailed a third cover letter and survey to obtain an even greater response, the Oregon Bankers Association declined a third mailing. 1,226 agency surveys were mailed and in the field from October 25 through November 30, 2005, the final cut-off date for the survey. Eleven agencies were determined undeliverable or closed, so 1, 215 agencies were considered the final sample. Agency respondents returned a total of 461 completed surveys providing a 38 percent response rate. Of the 1,984 members on the list provided from the Oregon Bankers Association, 51 banks had closed, leaving 1,035 possible members to be surveyed. Among these members, 238 returned completed survey for a response rate of 23 percent. The survey to the members of the Oregon Bankers Association was fielded between January 30 and March 17, 2006, the final cut-off for the survey. This report describes the findings from the survey sent to a list of social and human service agencies.

Agency Findings Responding agencies – who are they? Close to half (46%) of all responding agencies say their organization’s services are indeed restricted by age limits, and most (61%) serve older adults ages 60 or 65 and older. Another quarter (26%) serve adults 18 and older, and only 1 percent of the respondents say they provide services to children. Most responding agencies provide services to a diverse group of clients: 81 percent say they serve people with mental disabilities, 92 percent say they serve people with physical disabilities, 88 percent serve low incomes, and another 88 percent say they serve racial/ethnic minorities. Over half say they serve people with alcohol or drug abuse problems (56%). Interestingly, however, when asked to indicate whether or not they work for one of the types of agencies listed in the survey that included many types of senior and disabled organizations, most reported ‘no’ or ‘no answer’ (see question 19 in Annotated Survey of Agency Respondents). One-third (33%) report working for community long-term care organizations, and one in five (21%) report working for the Area Agency on Aging. Do clients face financial problems? The data clearly shows that clients of the responding agencies do indeed face many financial problems. Four in ten of the respondents say that their clients are often faced with being unable to read or understand financial materials, and nearly a third say their clients are often faced with unpaid bills or paying them late. Additionally, at least four in ten agencies report that their clients sometimes face issues like financial abuse, unpaid bills or paying bills late, buying unneeded items, or being unable to read or understand financial materials. Roughly a third of the responding agencies say their clients sometimes face evictions, disconnection notices, or being unable to buy necessities like food or medication. In general, few respondents report they are not sure or gave no answer.

What types of financial services do responding agencies provide informally or formally? At least half of the responding agencies report that they help people write checks, help them with their banking tasks, pay their bills and apply for financial assistance, primarily as an informal service. About four in ten agencies help people with budgeting and budget management, and over half of them do this informally.

Do responding agencies refer clients to other organizations and do they receive referrals? Most (67%) of the agencies that responded to the survey say they refer people who need help managing their money to other organizations because their agency cannot meet the needs of those people. However, almost one-third (30% or 140 agencies) say their agency has received referrals (see Annotated Survey of Agency Respondents, Questions 6 and 8). Among those who have received referrals from other organizations, most of the new clients needing help had incomes below $31,000 for a couple and below $22,000 for an individual, and within that group, most had incomes below $13,000 (see Annotated Survey of Agency Respondents, Questions 9 and 10). Moreover, half (49%) of those agencies who receive referrals say that in an average month up to ten people are referred to their agency for help managing money due to mental, physical, or social limitations. About one in five (21%) say that more than ten people are referred to their agency in a given month for money management assistance. However, nearly one-third (30%) of the referral-receiving agencies did not or could not answer this question. Also among those agencies who report accepting referrals from other organizations, almost half (48%) of them are generally providing up to three hours of assistance per client per month. Nineteen percent of them provide three or more hours of help per client per month.3 Additionally, referral receiving agencies say that the most difficult task for their clients is budgeting and budget management (39%), followed by financial assistance applications (15%), and bill paying (14%) (See Annotated Survey of Agency Respondents, Question 13).

3 Although respondents were asked in question 8 whether or not they accept referrals, question 12 offered them the opportunity to indicate they ‘do not provide assistance even if there is a need’. Eleven percent of those who indicated they were a referral receiving agency reported in question 12 that they never provide assistance even if there is a need. This left question 12 with n=124.

Do responding agencies think there is a need for money management programs? Thinking about their organization’s client population, most agencies say their is a need for a program where trained, supervised, monitored, and insured volunteers help people with bill paying or are appointed as representative payees to manage a government benefit such as Social Security. In fact, about one third indicate they believe there is a major need, and another third say there is a moderate need. About one in five say there is a minor need for such a program, while only nine percent see no need at all. How involved would responding agencies be with a money management program? The majority of agencies that responded to this survey would refer their clients to a money management program that used trained, supervised, monitored, and insured volunteers as bill payers or representative payees. Nearly as many say their organization would be willing to work with the program if it was started in their area. However, somewhat fewer would be willing to serve on an advisory council for the program and only about one in seven responding agencies would be willing to serve as a co-sponsor for their community. Interestingly, respondents indicate a substantial degree of uncertainty with respect to each of these offers and perhaps want more information before giving a more definitive response to each of these opportunities.

2006 Oregon Money Management Survey: Summary of Agency Findings 6

Conclusion Most of the responding agencies do have clients that face financial problems, namely paying bills on time or having unpaid bills and experiencing financial abuse from family or others, and they offer financial management assistance as informal services to their customers. While close to one-third of responding agencies accept referrals, more actually refer clients to other organizations for assistance. Among those who receive client referrals from other organizations, nearly half spend up to three hours of assistance per client per month, and many report that the most difficult tasks faced by these referrals is budgeting and budget management and banking. Overall, responding agencies feel there is a need for a money management program, and most would refer clients to the program and be willing to work with the program. However, while about four in ten would serve on an advisory council for this program, a similar proportion is not sure they would, and even more are not sure they want to serve as a co-sponsor of the program. In sum, the findings from this survey suggest that many responding agencies are most supportive of a money management program to which they could refer people to, and many are willing to be active partners with such a program. However, given the number of responding agencies that report uncertainty about being involved, it is possible that after receiving more information, fewer may indicate such ambiguity about being more involved in this type of program.
