| Although
less than 10 percent of total beneficiaries served by the BPAO
Program were under the age of 22, it is still useful to examine
the experiences of the 4080 youth who did participate. SSI and
concurrent beneficiaries under the age of 22 were more likely
to receive Intensive Benefit Support than SSDI recipients. This
is in contrast to the general beneficiary population, in which
SSI recipients were less likely to receive Intensive Benefit
Supports.
