Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS)

Many people with disabilities want to work, and you’re probably one of them. But maybe you need to go back to school before you can get a job. Or, maybe you?d like to start your own business, but you don’t have the money. Whatever your work goal may be, a PASS can help you reach it. A PASS lets you set aside money and/or other things you own to help you reach your goal. For example, you could set aside money to start a business or to go to school or to get training for a job. Your goal must be a job that will produce sufficient earnings to reduce your dependency on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. A PASS is meant to help you acquire those items, services or skills you need so that you can compete with able-bodied persons for an entry level job in a professional, business or trade environment. If you have graduated from college or a trade/technical school, they usually consider you capable of obtaining such a position without the assistance of a PASS. You can contact your local Social Security office to find out whether a PASS is appropriate for you. Also see: http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-545.html
