- Technological Innovation: Maximus's Accuracy Assistant leverages predictive analytics and intelligent automation to analyze SNAP case files in real-time, enabling the identification of potential data inconsistencies before they become costly errors, thereby enhancing state governments' decision-making efficiency and accuracy.
- Policy Adaptation: The launch of this solution comes as states prepare for upcoming federal changes to SNAP in October 2027, which will require them to fund a portion of benefits based on payment error rates, with the Accuracy Assistant helping to mitigate financial risks associated with exceeding the 6% error threshold.
- Risk Management: By analyzing high-risk cases in real-time, the Accuracy Assistant ensures that the information used by staff to issue benefits is accurate, thereby reducing error rates and strengthening the integrity of the SNAP program, helping states avoid potential new benefit costs in the millions.
- Strategic Importance: The Accuracy Assistant not only enhances the quality and accuracy of the SNAP benefit verification process but also reflects Maximus's commitment to innovation in government services, aiming to improve public service delivery through technology and drive operational efficiency in government programs.
