Who can be paid in arrears?

Paying in arrears means you issue payment after the services have been delivered and the time is verified. In this framework, the support broker is the designated administrator who handles payroll, approves timesheets, and ensures the participant’s budget and program rules are followed. That oversight role is why only the support broker is allowed to be paid in arrears. Family members and vendors have other payment rules and restrictions, and broad arrears payments would complicate accountability and compliance. So the correct choice reflects the broker’s unique position to manage and process arrears payments within the program.
