SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Type of meeting:* Informational pre-application seminars open to potential applicants for the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance

(WIPA)Program (currently the Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach

(BPAO)Program). *Purpose:* SSA will hold informational pre-application seminars throughout the nation to solicit interest and encourage community-based organizations to apply for cooperative agreement awards. All interested applicants are invited to attend. Section 1149(d) of the Social Security Act (as added by Section 121 of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) of 1999, Pub. L. 106-170) required SSA to establish community based benefits planning and assistance in every State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands. As authorized by TWWIIA, SSA established a program, called the Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach

(BPAO)program. Under this program, cooperative agreements (monetary awards) were granted to community-based organizations, called BPAO Projects, to provide all of SSA's beneficiaries with disabilities access to work incentives planning and assistance services. Section 407 of the Social Security Protection Act (Pub. L. 108-203) extended the authorization of this program through Fiscal Year 2009. SSA released a nationwide, competitive Request for Applications in May 2006 to announce funding availability for new cooperative agreements awards and to change the name of the BPAO program to the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance

(WIPA)Program, effective September 30, 2006. The schedule (including date, time and address of each pre-application seminar location as it becomes available) will be posted at the following Internet site: *http://www.socialsecurity.gov/work/WIPARFA.html.* *Agenda:* SSA will use the seminars to provide guidance and technical assistance to interested parties as they prepare to submit their applications.
