Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) allows individuals with disabilities to set aside income and/or resources to achieve a specific work goal.
Money set aside under PASS is not counted as income when determining SSI benefits eligibility.
Eligibility for PASS requires SSI qualification, a realistic work goal, income/resources to set aside, and a detailed plan.
The application process for PASS involves defining a work goal, creating a detailed plan, and submitting it to the SSA for approval.
Benefits of PASS include financial independence, skill building, and increased savings without affecting current benefits.
