A PASS Plan is a plan that is supposed to be used to help you reenter the workforce and become self-supporting. For example, money in a PASS Plan could be used to open a restaurant. PASS allows for not counting the money or assets in a PASS account. PASS plans work for any job or education goals you can reach within four years.

There are many advantages to having a PASS plan. For example, in addition to saving for a goal, it can make you eligible for Medicaid.

A bank account set up to secure a credit card can qualify as a PASS account and also provide money to live on.

Returning to work, a PASS account can be combined with Section 1619 to also permit you to obtain Medicaid while working.

The application process requires details about your plan, including a business plan.

Once a PASS Plan is apprpoved, if you don't follow the rules the Plan will be cancelled, you may be required to return money, and your Medicaid could be cancelled.
