What is the Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) Program for SSDI in Kansas? The PASS program is a Social Security Administration work incentive designed to help individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in Kansas reach employment goals and improve their financial independence. By setting aside income and resources for specific work-related expenses, the PASS program allows recipients to pursue training, education, or business start-up expenses without losing their SSDI benefits. This program supports long-term self-support by enabling beneficiaries to plan strategically for their return to work.
