Benefit check bot

Over $100B in benefits low-income families qualify for goes unclaimed each year because eligibility rules are fragmented across federal, state, and county programs, applications are long and document-heavy, and frontline navigators screen clients manually one program at a time. Caseworkers at clinics and nonprofits lack a fast, accurate way to tell a client in minutes which of dozens of programs they likely qualify for and how much money is on the table.
