This video is about
how people with disabilities can take advantage of a work incentive
offered by the Social Security Administration. It's called
the Plan for Achieving Self-Support, or PASS for short.
The PASS allows you to set aside income or resources to put towards
a work goal. For example, you could set aside money for education,
vocational training, or starting a business. You could also
use a PASS to pay for other work related items, such as, a personal
attendant, a job coach, an electric wheelchair, a computer or
other assistive technology, occupational therapy, transportation
expense, or even a custom van. The PASS allows you to earn
more money to put towards a work goal, without reducing your SSI
benefits.
