A question for benevolence workers

If your congregation is approached by a member for help with a bill, how do you handle this? Do you ask them to go to agencies first to see if there is additional help for them, before you offer help from your church? How do you limit the number of people privy to this request? Does it still have to go through the Benevolence team, or does the Pastor have authority to make these decisions?
