The PSF was initiated in 2012 by adult film producers looking to subsidize the cost of testing for talent.

Currently, the program is primarily supported by PASS Certified Testing Partner Clear, who donates 100% of the proceeds from their online merch store to the PSF.

One hundred percent of the funds contributed to the PSF are divided into equal portions, and dispersed to each enrolled performer based on the number of times they tested through the PASS database during that month.

Performers are paid per the number of times tested. If a performer tests twice in one month they will receive a subsidy for two tests. The amount will vary monthly, depending on how many performers tested each month, how often, and how many requested subsidies.

If subsidy e-checks go uncashed, the funds are returned to the PSF after 90 days.

All performers who have tested within the PASS system are eligible, and payments arrive quarterly (every 3 months) via e-mail through secure online e-checks from Deluxe.

Those interested in signing up for the PSF need simply to sign up at a participating testing facility or email PASS at info@passcertified.org with the email address associated with your PASS account.
