An FMS (Financial Management Service) helps manage the financial and administrative side of Self-Determination. This includes tracking budgets, paying providers, handling required documentation, and ensuring compliance with program rules, so participants can focus on their services, not the paperwork.
The Self-Determination Program requires participants to work with an FMS to manage funds responsibly and stay compliant. Beyond meeting requirements, a good FMS makes the process clearer, smoother, and far less stressful over time.
Resolute FMS provides Bill-Payer financial management for Self-Determination participants who work with independent providers.
We manage vendor payments, track budgets, handle required reporting, and provide ongoing support. Resolute FMS participants also have access to theResolute Care Collective, our curated provider network designed to make finding services easier.
No. Resolute FMS focuses exclusively on the Bill Payer model. This allows us to provide clear, reliable support without the added complexity of employer responsibilities.
Getting started is simple. Once you choose Resolute FMS as your FMS, we’ll guide you through a short onboarding process using our user-friendly participant portal.
Participants only need to provide a few key pieces of information to get started, and we coordinate directly with your Regional Center to handle the rest.
Onboarding is designed to be quick and straightforward. Because our portal is easy to use and requires only essential information up front, many participants can complete their part of onboarding quickly, usually within 10 minutes.
Timelines can vary depending on Regional Center coordination, but we work to keep the process moving and keep you informed every step of the way.

The Resolute Care Collective is Resolute FMS’s curated network of independent providers. Rather than a public directory, it’s a thoughtfully maintained network designed to help participants find services that fit their lives.
Providers submit invoices and required documents through Resolute’s secure, user-friendly portal. Everything is tracked in one place, making it easy to see submission status and payment progress. Once invoices are submitted and confirmed by the participant, Resolute FMS handles the rest.
