FMS Provider for San Diego Regional Center
AbleRoot Financial Management Services is vendored with San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) and serves Self-Determination Program participants throughout San Diego County and Imperial County. We offer all three FMS models with no waitlist, a digital-first portal, and multilingual support.
About AbleRoot & San Diego Regional Center
San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) serves over 40,000 individuals with developmental disabilities in San Diego and Imperial Counties. As a vendored FMS provider with SDRC, AbleRoot is authorized to deliver Financial Management Services to all Self-Determination Program participants in the SDRC catchment area.
AbleRoot was built from the ground up as a technology-first FMS provider. Unlike traditional providers relying on paper forms and manual processes, AbleRoot offers a real-time digital portal where participants and their families can view budgets, approve timesheets, track spending, and manage documents — all from any device.
We support all three FMS service codes authorized by the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS): Bill Payer (315), Co-Employer (316), and Sole Employer (317). Our team speaks English, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Farsi.
Three FMS Models Available for SDRC Participants
Choose the model that fits your family's needs. AbleRoot supports all three — and you can switch models anytime.
Bill Payer (Fiscal Agent)
AbleRoot pays your vendors and workers on your behalf. The simplest model — ideal for families who want straightforward budget management without employer responsibilities.

AbleRoot shares employer responsibilities with you. We handle payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and HR compliance while you direct your workers' day-to-day tasks.
