Anyone can help you with a PASS, including your vocational rehabilitation worker, employer or the Social Security office. In general, the following rules apply:

* the PASS must state a clear and realistic work goal;
* your goal must be a job or business that will produce sufficient income to reduce your dependency on SSI payments;
* the PASS must state the amount and sources of income or resources that will be set aside;
* the PASS must state how you will spend the money;
* you must be able to achieve the goal of the PASS within a specified period of time; and
* the PASS must be approved by Social Security.

For more information about setting up a PASS, ask for the leaflet, Working While Disabled—A Guide To Plans For Achieving Self-Suppor (Publication No. 05-11017).
