What is the role of the Fiscal Employment Agent (FEA)?

The Fiscal Employment Agent acts as the financial and payroll intermediary for self-directed services. Their primary job is to handle all money-related tasks: setting up and processing employment paperwork, paying employees, managing payroll with appropriate withholdings, producing year-end documents like W-2s, handling taxes, keeping accounting records, and making payments for goods and services approved in the participant’s plan. They also help ensure compliance with relevant laws and provide accurate financial reporting so expenditures stay within the plan’s budget. They do not perform clinical assessments, supervise participants directly, or provide medical treatment. Their role is about making sure funds are properly managed and disbursed to support the participant’s chosen supports.
