PASS Specialists (the social security staff who review and approve Plans to Achieve Self-Support, or PASSes), pictured above with Job Squad staff, recently held an outreach training in Morgantown at the West Virginia University Center for Excellence in Disabilities. Topics covered included basics such as: "What is a PASS?'; "Who Benefits from a PASS?"; "What is Self-Support?"; as well as discussions about particulars like Occupational Goals, PASS Milestones, and how PASS can be used to support Self-Employment.
Attendee's were also shown a video about PASS, which can be viewed here.
We also learned that there have been more than 20 PASSes approved so far this year--an increase of about 50% from 2007!
