07 MA/013: Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach (BPA&O) for SSA Beneficiaries
|
|
The purpose of this GIS message is to inform local Departments of Social Services of a name change for the Social Security Administration (SSA) Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach (BPA&O) projects. As described in 03 OMM/ADM-4 dated June 9, 2003, the BPA&O projects provide SSA beneficiaries with disabilities, including working age youth, access to benefits planning and assistance services. A BPA&O Cooperative Agreement Awards List was attached to the ADM so that local district staff could provide referrals to the appropriate BPA&O in their area. On October 1, 2006, the SSA awarded a new round of cooperative agreements to seven community organizations in New York State and with the new awards came a new name. These projects are now called Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA). Each WIPA project has Community Work Incentive Coordinators (CWICs), formerly known as Benefits Counselors.
