The Massachusetts Money Management Program was developed as a joint venture between the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)/Legal Counsel for the Elderly (LCE) and Mass Home Care. The program is administered by LCE which develops overall policy relating to the program operation. Client accounts and program volunteers are insured through AARP up to a maximum of $10,000 for any loss or misuse of funds. BayPath began its Money Management Program in September 1991 with seed money from Shearson Lehman.
