Beneficiaries Employed
 

More than 90 percent of those individuals who received intensive benefit support through the BPAO Program were either employed or in the process of seeking employment, as were over 75 percent of those who received I & R/Problem Solving. Most were currently not working but had an interest in changing their employment status, particularly those receiving the more intensive benefit services. Nearly 60 percent of each group indicated that they were not employed, but were actively seeking employment, and nearly 30 percent of those who received intensive benefit support and 17 percent of those who received I & R/Problem Solving were currently employed part-time, working less than 30 hours a week. Less than six percent of intensive benefit support beneficiaries indicated that they were employed full-time, working 30 or more hours a week, as did almost four percent of I & R/Problem Solving beneficiaries. In contrast to about eight percent of intensive benefit support beneficiaries, nearly 18 percent of I & R/Problem Solving beneficiaries indicated that they were not currently employed and were not seeking employment.
