Benefits Planning
The Utah Benefits Planning Assistance and Outreach program is designed to give Social Security Disability Beneficiaries information on how employment may affect their benefits so that they may make an informed choice about working. The UBPAO can also look at any other benefits a person receives and assess how work may affect those benefits.
Referrals can be made when the individual is considering returning to work, increasing his/her number of work hours, or entering a training program.
Anyone can refer into the UBPAO program by filling out the REFERRAL FORM (pdf file | doc file) .
For more information about the Utah Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach Program. Please see the Referral Information Sheet (pdf file).
Individuals referred to this program should know that they would be required to share information about their benefits and employment history. This will include information concerning their income and may include information on anyone residing in their household.
A benefits specialist will meet with a consumer
and develop an individualized analysis of their benefits and the impact
of employment. The UBPAO may also provide a set of strategies enabling
an individual to protect his/her financial and medical benefits for a
period of time while trying out work.
