Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS)

A program that helps people with disabilities save income and resources to pursue work goals such as entrepreneurship without losing SSI benefits.

The Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) is a federal program designed to ease disabled individuals into the workforce, eventually allowing them to rely less on federal supplemental security income. PASS can be used to fund a variety of expenses that disabled entrepreneurs might need to start their own business, including supplies, transportation, training fees, equipment, and more.
