Remember, a PASS Plan is a disability resource from Social Security that pays for items over and above the funding you can receive from these other organizations; even if you think they are covering the cost 100%. Are they covering things like car payments, car insurance, childcare, food while in school, etc? A PASS Plan Can!!!

Here are disability resources that might help you find work.
Employer Tax Credits
Employer tax credits
It is your choice if you tell the employer that you are disabled. Some employers may see a gap in your work history and become afraid to hire you. Explain to them that you already have medical coverage. If they hire you they will be eligible for a tax credit of between $2400 and $9000. Since you are working with us as your Employment Network (listed under Vocational Rehabilitaion referral), your employer would qualify for this tax credit. Make sure they file for this tax credit within the first 28 days of your hire or they will lose the credit. If the employer has any questions have them contact us
