What is a Person Managing Funds/Fund Administrator?

For Special Services at Home (SSAH), the ‘Fund Administrator’ is the parent/primary caregiver who is managing the child’s funding and whose signature is being placed on the invoice. For Passport and Residential funding, the ‘Person Managing Funds’ is an individual who is managing the funding and whose signature is being placed on the reimbursement forms. This could be the Recipient or another individual such as the parent/caregiver.

What is a Recipient?

‘Recipient’ refers to the individual with a disability who has been approved for either Special Services at Home (SSAH) or Passport funding. For SSAH, the ‘Recipient’ is the child with a developmental and/or physical disability who has been approved for SSAH funding. For Passport, the ‘Recipient’ is the adult with a developmental disability who has been approved for Passport funding.

Should I register as a Person Managing Funds or Recipient?

If you are an adult with a developmental disability that has been approved for Passport funding, you will register as a ‘Recipient’. If you are managing the SSAH or Passport funding on behalf of someone you support, you will register as a ‘Fund Administrator’ / ‘Person Managing Funds’. When creating an account to manage SSAH funding, you will not be given the option to register as a ‘Recipient’.

How do I know if I am eligible for Passport/SSAH funding?

For more information on program eligibility and how to apply, visit our Passport and SSAH pages.

How much is my Funding? What is my client code?

Your funding amount and client code is determined by either the Ministry Regional Office (SSAH) or Passport Agency (Passport), and this information is outlined in the funding package you will have received from them. If you cannot find this information, please kindly contact your local Ministry Regional Office or Passport Agency as they will have this information.

For help locating your Regional Office or Passport Agency, please visit our Passport and SSAH pages.

Notice: Canada Post Strike Impact on Cheque Payments

Due to the Canada Post strike, there may be delays in mailing out cheques to Passport recipients who have selected cheque as their payment method. To avoid disruptions, we strongly encourage you to work with your Passport agency to switch to Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for direct deposit. If signing up for EFT is not feasible, please contact your Passport agency for other options. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
