Is the PASS program available only to SSI beneficiaries?

The PASS (Plan for Achieving Self-Support) program is designed to assist individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to achieve their work goals by allowing them to set aside certain income and resources for specific work-related expenses. This program is specifically available to SSI beneficiaries, providing them a pathway to enhance their employment potential without jeopardizing their benefits.

The features of the PASS program emphasize its role in promoting self-sufficiency among individuals who might be limited by their circumstances. While other programs exist for people with disabilities, PASS is uniquely aligned with SSI, hence the notion that it is available solely to those beneficiaries. This central point clarifies its focus and delineates eligibility from other types of support for individuals with disabilities or individuals not receiving SSI.
