Youth: Types of BPAO Services Received
 

Youth Receiving Intensive Benefit Support

The most common type of service delivered to the intensive benefit support youth group was “Benefit Analysis and Advisement,” which is the assessment of the potential impacts of employment or the aspects of a recipient’s financial profile by a benefits specialist in order to develop an outline of available options and projected outcomes. This was followed by “Information and Referral Services,” which provided general information about the benefit program and referral to government programs to more than 80 percent of the youth population.
