SI 00870.080 Resumption Of A PASS
A. POLICY-- RESUMING A PASS
A suspended PASS (as described in SI 00870.070) may resume (and
SSA will
exclude the income and resources) when the individual resolves the reason
for the suspension and the PASS expert approves the individual's request,
including any amendment, to pursue the PASS. At the PASS expert's
discretion, an individual may be allowed to resume a PASS that was
suspended for more than 12 months as long as the individual was not
terminated for SSI benefits.
B. PROCEDURE -- RESUMING A PASS
Resume the PASS as of the month you determine to be appropriate; i.e.,
the individual began to re-pursue the plan or an approved
amendment (see
SI 00870.050 for amending a plan). If the PASS was erroneously
suspended
because the person was considered to have sufficient earnings for all
expenses, or amends the plan to include additional expenses, resume the
PASS as of the month of suspension. Take the appropriate actions per SI
00870.080C. - SI 00870.080E.
C. PROCEDURE -- NOTICE PREPARATION

Send a manual notice using form SSA-L8166-C1 in NL 00802.035 and include
the following:
o the month the plan is resumed and through which you approve the plan
for extension (per SI 00870.055D.1.) and you will next review

o any third party who will receive a copy of the notice pursuant to the

keep complete records of expenditures (enclose another PASS
