Personal Assistance Services Reimbursement Employment Program (PASREP)
Are you someone with a disability who needs assistance to work?
PASREP, is a Michigan-based statewide organization that reimburses eligible persons with disabilities for personal assistance costs required to gain or maintain employment. PASREP provides limited reimbursement of personal care assistance costs for persons with disabilities who are employed. These individuals could not continue to work without personal care assistance. PASREP helps individuals maintain their employment, their quality of life, and their independence.
PASREP helps break the barrier to going back to work by assisting with out-of-pocket personal assistance costs. This can help bridge the gap caused by lost benefits. PASREP recipients receive reimbursements for personal assistance services up to $1,000 per month.
