A PASS can be established to cover the costs of obtaining an education, receiving vocational training, starting a business, or purchasing support services which enable individuals to work and result in reduction/cessation of benefits (SSI/SSDI). PASS is meant to assist a person in competing in the job market. PASS makes it financially feasible for individuals to set aside or save income and/or resources. These can be used to achieve their vocational goals by enabling them to receive higher SSI payments as they work toward self-sufficiency.
