Safety Net
If you know someone who lives alone or relies on a support network, help them sign up for Safety Net. They can select a relative or friend to also receive their APS bill so they can remind them when payment is due.

Guest roles
When more than a reminder is needed. Reminders can offer peace of mind that the bill will be paid on time. But if you or someone you know also needs help managing their APS account, they can assign someone as a “guest” on their account. There are three levels of access, so they can’t pick which level works best for them. “Guests” are not financially responsible for the account but can help keep an eye on it.
