Evaluation of the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) Program in 2011: Beneficiaries Served, Services Provided, and Program Costs

This report is the third in a series of reports on the activities of Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program grantees, covering services provided in calendar year 2011. During that time, the program provided first-time services to nearly 43,000 beneficiaries, including just over 18,000 beneficiaries who received information and referral only and nearly 25,000 beneficiaries who received more intensive services. Overall during this period, the WIPA program worked with nearly 60,000 beneficiaries, including those who first contacted a WIPA project prior to January 1, 2011. This report highlights the types of services provided to beneficiaries and describes the ways that such services may help with achievement of employment goals.
