LSS Center for Financial Resources, Online Financial Counseling

Online counseling provides an interactive opportunity for clients in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota to share information regarding their financial planning through a series of forms and electronic communications. The process is split into steps to provide varying degrees of informational exchanges.

Depending on your circumstances and unique financial objectives, your counseling may be completely based on the preliminary information provided. However, if there is a need or desire for further clarification, guidance, or additional questions – a counselor will continue to communicate with you to help you achieve your goals.

To help cover the cost of providing this service, the agency charges a fee of $30. The fee will be invoiced to you after you receive your response from a counselor and payments can be made via cash, check, or over the phone with a debit card. The counseling fee will be automatically waived if you are behind on any housing payments (mortgage, rent, or utilities) or are homeless. LSS Center for Financial Resources does not refuse service based on the client's ability to pay the counseling fee.
