For 16 years, ϺAPP has developed innovative solutions for , a digital initiative led by the Department of Labor (DOL) and supported by 17 partner agencies. The website was founded to help citizens connect with government programs more easily. Developed and launched by ϺAPP in only 96 business days, Benefits.gov provides citizens with access to information on more than 1,200 benefits.
“Prior to the site, citizens seeking government benefit information had to search through a maze of webpages. There was no easy-to-use, single source of information to help citizens understand which benefits they may be eligible for, or how to apply,” says Sean McDonald, ϺAPP’s lead for DOL engagements. Benefits.gov has been recognized with more than 30 industry awards for its innovative solutions—like DEXi, our open-source cognitive personalization platform.
