Welfare Help Cellphone Bill, Can’t Pay with Check

Post by bbqthis »

Have a welfare need in the ward, the member uses Boost Mobile which will not accept a personal check as payment. What’s the best procedure for that?

Consider making helping with other bills as outlined in 22.4.3 (Provide Resources or Services Rather Than Cash).

Section 22.5.5 outlines a support line that includes asking questions.

There are several threads on similar issues. Usually, a member of the bishopric or RS president can make a payment with their debit/credit card and get reimbursed. The bishop may authorize another member who is willing and able to do it.

Reimburse from fast offering category.
