Centralized Eligibility Screener (HUB)
Raise awareness and improve participation rates in state and local services and assistance programs with an easy and equitable eligibility wizard.

Reduce barriers to entry for families
With our Helping Understand Benefits (HUB) solution, state agencies and municipal governments can support families in need with a unique, modern experience designed to raise the visibility of all programs, services, and supports they may be eligible for.

User-friendly eligibility wizard for families
Families respond to a series of questions written in clear, conversational language. Mobile-first design ensures a consistent, seamless experience regardless of device.

Improve participation rates and provide full transparency
Families see all services, programs, and benefits they are and are not eligible for in one place, including: a high-level overview of the program, links to more information, and all the criteria used to determine eligibility.

Use data insights to inform policy and outreach
Administrators see quantitative analytics on which programs are most popular, how often families are meeting eligibility criteria, and whether additional community outreach is needed.
