PABSS Project
Pennsylvania
Protection & Advocacy, Inc. (PP&A) is concerned that the state’s
citizens with disabilities are not taking full advantage of one of our
programs. It is
called PABSS, which stands for Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of
Social Security.
These services are for Social Security beneficiaries who are in the process of
preparing for work, seeking work, or working. The PABSS Project protects
the rights of SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients who have a disability and
wish to gain or continue work. PABSS services are free.
The PABSS Project assists Social Security beneficiaries to overcome discrimination and barriers to obtaining work, returning to work, and/or maintaining work. This includes barriers that impede access to vocational and rehabilitation services, barriers to employment and support services (including transportation) necessary to enter the workplace, and reasonable accommodations for your disability at your place of employment.
