When seeking support in meeting H.R. 1 mandates, government leaders have a wealth of options. Our unique combination of policy and technology expertise sets Code for America apart as a leader in the civic tech space. And that expertise goes beyond just developing a strategy—we take pride in working shoulder to shoulder with states to implement what we propose and drive real-world impact.

For more than 15 years, Code for America has supported benefits administrators at all levels as they navigate complex systems, making processes more efficient. Partners can trust our experts to provide targeted guidance as they work to meet multiple H.R. 1-related demands, such as:

  • Increasing SNAP payment accuracy through proactive error prevention, predictive analytics, and business process updates 
  • Improving the efficiency of Medicaid redeterminations through automated (ex parte) renewals and pre-filled forms
  • Facilitating work requirement compliance by leveraging data, automation, and human-centered design
  • Increasing caseworker efficiency by using AI, automation, and service design to streamline processes and maximize worker capacity

As the nation’s leading civic technology nonprofit, Code for America brings program-specific expertise and technology capabilities to help states navigate H.R. 1. We’ve worked with states across the country to increase program efficiency and accuracy by:

Implementing automated Medicaid renewals

Working shoulder to shoulder with the state of Minnesota, we helped create a new system for automated (ex parte) Medicaid renewals, which reduced staff’s renewal processing time by 80% and translated to more than $4 million in annual savings for the state.

Reducing SNAP payment error rates

In the District of Columbia, we built a web-based caseworker tool to flag potential sources of SNAP payment errors before they occur. Using an AI-powered entity resolution engine, our team also helped caseworkers identify and resolve duplicate records in the District’s system, which ultimately improved the timeliness and accuracy of SNAP benefits delivery.

How to partner with us
