JP-PAS

What Is The JP-PAS Program?

The James Patrick Memorial Work Incentive Personal Attendant Services program provides financial assistance to persons who are gainfully employed and have severe or chronic disabilities that require assistance from a personal care attendant (PCA) for at least 2 activities of daily living such as self-care, including ambulation, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, and toileting, and other similar tasks.

The program is primarily funded by the Tax Collection Enforcement Diversion program which provides the delinquent tax owner an opportunity to pay back the taxes instead of being prosecuted and serving time in jail.
