About AbleRoot & San Andreas Regional Center
San Andreas Regional Center (SARC) serves individuals with developmental disabilities across Santa Clara, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties. AbleRoot provides Financial Management Services to SDP participants in the SARC service area, helping families manage their individual budgets, process payroll, and stay compliant with California DDS requirements.
AbleRoot is the technology-first FMS provider for SARC-area families. Our secure digital portal gives participants real-time visibility into their budget, timesheets, and documents — replacing the paper-heavy processes that other FMS providers still rely on. We make self-determination easier to manage, not harder.
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 SARC 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.
Learn more →Co-Employer
AbleRoot shares employer responsibilities with you. We handle payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and HR compliance while you direct your workers' day-to-day tasks.
Learn more →Sole Employer
You have full employer status — you hire, manage, and direct your support workers. AbleRoot manages the financial backend: payroll processing, tax filings, and fiscal reporting.
