Register in advance to attend this virtual group info session about Social Security’s PASS program for SSI recipients: Wednesday, April 29th, starting at 2 PM: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/shMchVtCTviA9-u0kXVMsw#/registration
“Social Security Work Incentives are designed to help people with disabilities who receive Social Security disability benefits transition to financial independence through work. If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or can become eligible for SSI, the Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) is a Work Incentive that helps you set aside income and resources for expenses related to your work goals.”
In this group info session, TRI’s interim Independent Living Program Director, Mandi Sheraden (she/her), and our Mobile Disability Benefits Counselor, Alex Hiraldo (he/him), will provide a general overview of SSA’s PASS program from the Ticket-to-Work (TTW) website.
If you need one-on-one assistance after attending the meeting, you can schedule an Intake with our Mobile Disability Counselor, Alex Hiraldo (he/him), help you draft your PASS application, and refer you to an employment support agency through the TTW program.
Register at least 2 weeks in advance if you require an American Sign Language Interpreter, and email: M.Sheraden@taconicresources.org
*These info sessions are open to the public. Zoom meetings are just like in-person group discussions. You will see and hear other attendees. Do not disclose your personal contact information, date of birth, social security number, or any other confidential information to the group.
