Are you taking all the Federal benefits you’re entitled to? Check with this free chatbot — without sharing any personal info.

icon BenefitKitchen,Federal Benefits

Every year, 120 million Americans – including parents, children, and seniors – leave an estimated $100B in earned public benefits unclaimed. Not because they don’t need them. Because no one told them they qualify.

Benefit Kitchen has helped working families identify and access thousands of dollars in new benefits. For 20+ years it has offered screening and referral information for 25 federal, state and county work-support programs like Medicaid, SNAP, tax credits, childcare, health plans (including D-SNP for older adults) and other programs. It models benefits across 50 states, adding as much as $10,000 to a household’s budget.

Now you can tap into this knowledgebase with a friendly chatbot - without providing any personal information about yourself. Just share your zip code, monthly income and family size to get a list of the different benefits you might be entitled to, and how to apply for them.

Mobilize voters through community service

Healthcare is color-blind. So is hunger. Both affect Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

What better way to start a dialog than to help someone get the healthcare and food benefits they're entitled to? Chatbots can help. In addition to telling people about the benefits they're entitled to, chatbots can also collect other details about them (with their permission). Learn more about how to apply such bots for activims and voter mobilization here.

TakeAway: Make sure you're getting all the Federal benefits you are entitled to. Your taxes pay for it.
