Individuals who do not have earned or unearned income and have not qualified
for SSI in the past due to resources in excess of the resource limit. By estab-lishing
a PASS to set aside these resources to achieve a vocational goal, individuals
can qualify for SSI.
- Unearned Income Only:
Individuals who have unearned income only can establish a PASS to exclude
the unearned income, thus establishing SSI.
- Earned Income Only:
Individuals who have earned income only can set aside earnings in the
PASS and begin receiving SSI checks.
- Both Earned and Unearned Income:
Individuals who have earned income and unearned income can set aside their
wages, Social Security or both to establish SSI cash benefits.
- Earned Income and Receiving SSI: Individuals who have earned
income and are receiving SSI can set the earnings aside in a PASS to increase
the amount of their SSI check.
- Earned Income (in near future) and Receiving SSI:
Individuals who have SSI only but will begin working in the near future can
establish a PASS to set aside the new wages starting with the first month
of employment. The SSI check will only be reduced by the amount of countable
earnings not set in the PASS.
- Potential PASS candidates having income/resources include those individuals
in school or training programs, currently receiving services from rehabilitation
agencies, or interested in rehabilitation and becoming self-supporting.
