Recommendation - Consider a PASS

Income that is included in a Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) can be excluded from your gross income when calculating your Financial Eligibility for Section 8 Assistance or your Section 8 rent if the PASS is approved by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

You have indicated that your family is spending or saving money for work expenses and/or employability investments. That money is not included in a PASS. It may be possible that your could establish a PASS that would help your become more self-supporting and that would decrease your rent and the amount of income counted for Section 8 eligibility.

You should check with a benefits counselor or your SSA Claims Representative to find out if a PASS is possible and appropriate. If it is, you can use WorkWORLD to find out what will happen to your Supplemental Security Income and your Section 8 eligibility and rent.
