ILRC’s Payroll Services Assist Persons of All Ages and Disabilities to Hire Help for Everyday Tasks.

ILRC’s Payroll Services help people of all ages with all kinds of disabilities hire and employ Direct Support Workers (DSW) to help them with tasks of everyday living. Examples of these tasks include cooking, cleaning, laundry, providing transportation, balancing personal accounts, or personal care tasks such as bathing or transferring from beds or wheelchairs. Direct Support Workers generally are not trained as nurses or health care workers, but are employed to do the kinds of tasks that make independent living possible.

We are here to help! Since 1986, ILRC has provided payroll and billing services for individuals with disabilities and their DSW through the following Home & Community Based Services HCBS Medicaid Waivers.

For Direct Support Worker general payroll information including direct deposit, work-related accidents, change of address, and W-2 info – please see our FMS Payroll Frequently Asked Questions.
