After a friend told me about the Plans to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) program I did some research on it and it is a great program. The program benefits people who have Supplemental Security Income (SSI). PASS allows SSI recipients to earn additional resources or income and put it aside to pay for education, to start a business, to fund training, etc. Under the program, the person will not lose their SSI benefits, and their SSI will not be reduced. To learn about the program click here . To learn more about schizophrenia check out Embracing My Mind, Inc. , the National Alliance on Mental Illness , and Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia (Canada).
