The PASS program is an SSI provision designed to help people with disabilities return to work. PASS is for those who already receive SSI or may qualify for SSI that would like to return to work or even start a business.
The program provides a way for individuals to set aside some income or resources to reach their work or business goals. Examples include education, training or business expenses. The main objective is to help SSI recipients find employment that either reduces or eliminates their reliance on benefits.
