5. A Viable Plan

For a PASS to be approved several requirements must be met:

  • A feasible occupational (work) goal that matches the person's interests, preferences, abilities and support needs
  • A viable plan that details short-term interval steps and time frames to move the person toward and assist them in achieving their work goal
  • A savings spending plan that outlines income and resources to be set aside, where they will be set aside, how the income or resources will be spent, and other information such as reasonableness of cost and /or cost estimates

A PASS candidate receiving only SSI must be able to show that the earnings goal will reduce their SSI.

A PASS candidate receiving only Title 2 before the PASS must be able to show that the earnings goal will eliminate their benefits due to work activity above the annual Substantial Gainful Activity.
