ABOUT US


Morning Sun’s history of supporting participant-directed services dates back to 1998 in Minnesota.  As the self-determination movement began to grow, two organizations joined forces to create Morning Sun Financial Services.  Morning Sun was founded to provide persons with disabilities and older adults greater choice, flexibility, and control over how their services are delivered and their needs are met.

Today, Morning Sun supports participant-directed services in numerous states and is recognized as a leader in the industry.  We continue to support self-determination as it evolves and take pride in creating best practices that make people’s lives better.

Morning Sun continues to provide participant-directed services in Minnesota via its related company Orion ISO.  Morning Sun Financial Services was formerly known as Morning Star Financial Services.

If you’d like to speak to us directly about Morning Sun’s services please visit our Contact Us page for more information.

"I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE. I'm particularly pleased with the fact that I deal with only one person."

SERVICES

SERVICES


Participant-directed services offer individuals more control and greater flexibility in the services they receive and how they are provided.  Morning Sun Financial Services supports participants in their choices about the level of responsibility and control they wish to have in managing their care.

01.
 Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA)


In the Fiscal/Employer Agent model the participant or the participant’s representative is the Common Law Employer. Morning Sun is the agent providing administrative support. This support includes payment to employees, payment of payroll taxes, processing of employment related information and record-keeping.

02.
 Agency With Choice


The Agency with Choice model offers the most support to participants or families who want to direct their own services. Under this model, Morning Sun is the Common Law Employer and the participant is the managing employer. This is a “dual employer” arrangement that empowers participants to recruit, screen, hire, train, supervise and evaluate their own employees.

03.
 Goods and Services


The Goods and Services option can be used in addition to any of the payroll models or can be used independently as its own service. This depends on the state or waiver plan. Morning Sun provides the support by issuing payments to vendors, ordering and purchasing items and record keeping. Morning Sun also ensures proper payment and filing of sales and use taxes.
