Griffin-Hammis
Associates, LLC is a leader in the understanding and implementation
of Social Security Work Incentives including Plans for Achieving
Self Support (PASS), Student Earned Income Exclusion (SEIE), Impairment
Related Work Expenses (IRWE), Property Essential to Self Support
(PESS), Blind Work Incentives, et al., and their impacts on other
public benefits, wages, and net earnings from self-employment (NESE).
Griffin-Hammis
staff, associates, and customers are responsible for the implementation
of more PASS plans than any other entity in the United States, and
we have helped many people start businesses, continue their education,
and get better paying jobs through the use of SSA Work Incentives.
VR Counselors, Supported Employment Specialists, and Work Force
Investment Act (One Stop) program staff have benefited immensely
from the blended funding opportunities that using Work Incentives
offers.
Every day in this country
individuals, families, and professionals make serious life decisions
based on their understanding of Social Security. Griffin-Hammis
believes people often make those decisions based on false interpretations,
partial information, and folklore. We hope to change this and assist
people in maximizing their benefits, with emancipation from the
“system” as the ultimate goal.
Griffin-Hammis
accomplishes this charge through training and technical consultation.
We regularly train the national Benefits Planning Assistance and
Outreach (BPAO) across the U.S. through subcontracts with Virginia
Commonwealth University’s RRTC, and through the Region VII
RCEP at the University of Missouri. We also have a host of single
and multi-day training programs on Work Incentives available. For
cost estimates on consultation or training, please contact Dave
