| The BPAO Program offers five
distinct service categories to recipients. The present results
reveal that virtually every beneficiary in the I & R/Problem
Solving group received “Information and Referral,”
with nearly a quarter of them also receiving “Problem
Solving and Advocacy.” The services most often delivered
to those recipients receiving intensive benefit support were
"Benefits Analysis and Advisement," followed by "Information
and Referral." The service category least frequently utilized
by this group of recipients was "Benefits Management,"
although the nature of this category makes its services critical
to those individuals who do receive them.
