Our Anthropic partnership

Code for America is partnering with AI leader Anthropic to improve public benefits administration through the responsible use of AI. This partnership is coming at a critical time. Millions of low-income families across the country have already lost or are at risk of losing access to food benefits due to significant changes to federal benefits policy that have increased administrative complexity for state agencies. Our first pilot is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Policy Navigator, a Claude-powered integration that allows caseworkers to seamlessly access reliable, up-to-date answers to case-specific questions.

Throughout the course of our partnership, we’ll work to produce reusable tools and approaches that can be adapted across states and counties, helping governments modernize service delivery while remaining compliant. The goal? A full suite of Claude integrations purpose-built to help administer critical benefits programs in an increasingly complex policy environment.
