Can I participate in a Plan for Achieving Self Support (PASS) and an IDA at the same time?
Yes. An IDA can be a part of your PASS plan. The only requirement is that your goal for each program be the same. One of the benefits of using the two together is that it allows you to set up an IDA that is not funded by Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) or the Assets for Independence Act (AFIA) without jeopardizing your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medi-Cal benefits.
