Budgeting can be difficult, regardless of your age. Hear about the statewide PASP program.
Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP) allows individuals to be independent with dignity and choice about their care needs to remain productive, active, and safe in the community. PASP is a program that authorizes a monthly dollar allocation to persons ages 18 and older living with permanent physical disabilities, are able to self-direct, and who are not on or eligible for Medicaid. The individual must be employed, attending an educational or training program to prepare for employment, attending school or volunteering for a minimum of 20 hours per month. This impactful program provides funds for personal care, transportation, errands, housekeeping, and medical supplies (to name a few) and allows the consumer to choose an agency or personal hire. Eligible consumers may receive up to 40 hours of self-direct routine, non-medical personalized care weekly.
Monthly budgets can be used to:
-Hire workers to assist with tasks related to personal, household management, or transportation.
-Purchase chore or errand services to assist with banking, shopping, cleaning, and more.
-Purchase supplies and/or equipment to enhance or promote independence.
