Did you know that if you require assistance with at least two activities of daily living to attain and maintain employment, you may be eligible for a reimbursement of up to $2,330 per month to help offset the cost of your personal care expenses?

The James Patrick Memorial Work Incentive Personal Attendant Services and Employment Assistance (JP-PAS) Program was created by the Florida Legislature in 2002 as a pilot project. The pilot was a success – and in 2008, JP-PAS was established as a permanent, statewide program in Chapter 413.402, Florida Statutes.

Eligibility requirements:
-Individuals must be employed, 18+ years of age, and a FL resident
-May not receive SSI, SSDI or Medicaid HCBS
-Be a United States Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident
-Must require personal assistance services for support for
at least two activities of daily living, such as ambulation,
bathing, dressing, eating, grooming and toileting as
defined in F.S. 429.02

If you fit the criteria, we'd love to chat!

Angie Walker is ready for your call and/or email!
