What type of support do Plans to Achieve Self Support (PASS) offer?

Plans to Achieve Self Support (PASS) are specifically designed to help individuals with disabilities achieve self-sufficiency through self-employment. This program allows individuals to set aside income and resources that they can use to attain their employment goals without jeopardizing their eligibility for Social Security benefits. By providing a structured financial plan, individuals can use their savings for various necessary expenses related to starting and maintaining their own business or becoming self-employed. Consequently, the main focus is on providing financial support that directly relates to achieving self-employment, distinguishing it from housing assistance, job training programs, or medical benefits, which are not the primary aim of PASS.
