BenefitBridge

BenefitBridge is a mobile + web app that helps low-income workers and informal earners find, qualify for, and actually receive government and NGO benefits without getting lost in paperwork. Users answer a short eligibility interview, upload minimal documents, and get a ranked list of programs with step-by-step application guidance. The platform tracks application status, deadlines, and required follow-ups, and provides a “proof pack” (standardized PDF bundle) that caseworkers can accept quickly. For agencies and NGOs, a web dashboard shows anonymized demand heatmaps, drop-off points, and common rejection reasons so programs can be redesigned for real-world access. This is an AI + traditional app: AI assists with form filling, document classification, and plain-language explanations, but the core value is workflow, verification, and status tracking. Realistically, success depends on partnerships and local program data quality.
