Pay for a custodian on disability

by Stephanie Hardy

We have recently done a financial overall in our church. I have been appointed to our financial committee and we have run into a difficult situation.

Our custodian is an elderly lady on social security and disability. She is paid $100.00 weekly and provided a parsonage apartment including utilities.

My question is how to continue paying her legally without jeopardizing her benefits. Is there a way to provide for her without doing it against any laws? I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter, as we are new to this process.
