Passport Management

This service is intended to make managing your Passport funding easier and more convenient.  For those who are currently self-administering their funding we can take over that responsibility for you and reduce the stress of paperwork, tracking expenses and submitting claims. 

Through this service, we can help with:

  • Identifying goals for your funding
  • Creating an annual budget
  • Providing support workers
  • Providing funding balance updates
  • Submitting eligible receipts for reimbursement
  • Purchasing approved items or paying for eligible services on your behalf

There is an administration fee charged for this service. 

To learn more contact Laura Hunka.
