Problem
Complex eligibility requirements and administrative barriers prevent organizations from efficiently connecting their clients to federal benefit programs, even when those clients are likely eligible. This results in billions of dollars in benefits going unclaimed each year by eligible students and other individuals facing insecurity.
Solution
BestFit provides a digital intake and eligibility screening platform that streamlines how education and training programs, nonprofits, health clinics, and social service agencies connect clients to wraparound supports. Users complete a five-minute equity-centered screening tool that assesses eligibility for six federal benefits—SNAP, CAPS, TANF, WIC, Medicaid, and LIHEAP—with questions rephrased into user-friendly language to reduce cognitive burden. The platform's algorithm assesses risks and needs, then delivers personalized eligibility results including monetary estimates of eligible benefits and additional resources. Back-office tools give organizations guided workflows, automated email and text notifications, and real-time enrollment and engagement data to support evidence-based service coordination.
Target Audience
Primary users are education and training programs, nonprofits, health clinics, and social service agencies that need to assess client eligibility for federal benefits and coordinate wraparound services at scale.
