Narrative

If you receive Social Security Disability.  WORK Inc. is an Employment Network (EN) for the Ticket To Work.  We also accept referrals from individuals who are able to pay privately.

How does the P.A.S.S. Program work?
When you receive SSI benefits and earn wages at a job, your SSI benefits are reduced according to a Social Security formula. The P.A.S.S. Program allows you to capture the funds that would normally be reduced from your monthly SSI check due to wages or unearned income, so that you can purchase supports to sustain employment. If approved, your P.A.S.S. Plan enables you to keep receiving the full amount of your SSI check to pay for your special employment supports for a designated time period.
