Try the new Passport planning tool to help you decide how to use your funding

If you need help deciding what to do with your Passport funding, we’ve created a tool to help you see what interests, hobbies, or expenses you can use your Passport funding to help pay for.

The tool will walk you through a questionnaire that asks you about your funding, hobbies, interests and expenses that may be admissible to the Passport program.

You will be automatically emailed a copy of your answers that you can share with your Passport Coordinator, your caregiver, or your Person Managing Funds (PMF).

Passport forms have been updated and new videos posted

Posted on June 5, 2023

As of June 1, 2023, the Passport Service Agreement and other forms (Notification Form and Support Worker Information Form) have been updated. If you have already signed an agreement with your Passport agency and have previously completed these forms, you will only be required to complete new forms if you want to make a change to how your funding is managed.

The Purchase of Service Invoice form has also been updated and will need to be used to submit reimbursement claims to PassportONE. If you use eClaim or MyDirectPlan (MDP), no change is required, you can continue to submit your invoices electronically.

New videos have been posted on the Resources page to help you complete the updated forms. If you need additional help, please contact your local Passport Agency.
