Abstract: This article provides a historical overview of the legislation creating financial work incentives, such as PASS, for use by people with disabilities. The PASS incentive, under the Social Security Administration, is described in detail. The primary intent of this article, however, is to provide the reader with case studies using the PASS incentive. The case studies present situations that vary by use of PASS savings, funds, financial status, and time1ines. This article concludes by offering the reader the current status of PASS usage and provides avenues to boost the beneficial use of PASS plans.
