Utah Benefits Planning Assistance and Outreach Program (BPAO)/ Work Incentive Planning and Assistance Program (WIPA)
The Utah Benefits Planning Assistance and Outreach Program (BPAO)/Work Incentive Planning and Assistance Program (WIPA) help people on Social Security disability understand how working impacts their Social Security and other benefits (including Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, housing, and many others).
Services Provided
The Social Security disability and other public benefit programs can often be complex and hard to understand and navigate. The Benefits Specialist or Community Work Incentive Coordinator (CWIC) can:
· Help people on Social Security understand Social Security and other benefit systems, what to expect, and what they need to do when there are changes in their employment status.
· Help people on Social Security learn about various work incentives available, and which ones they may be eligible for.
· Provide information about other programs and community resources that may also be helpful.
· Correct misinformation and provide accurate benefits information about each person’s unique situation.
These services are provided at no cost to the beneficiaries through a partnership between the Social Security Administration (SSA), Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR), the Department of Workforce Services (DWS) and the Work Ability Utah Project.
