SNAP Maximizer
Role: Senior Product Designer @ Propel
Team: CEO, Director of Policy Innovation
Timeline: Nov–Dec 2023
background
Approximately 40 million Americans check their SNAP/food stamps balance by calling a 1-800 number or using a clunky government website provided by their state or county. Providers is an app that allows people to check their food stamp balance instantly.
SNAP allotments are calculated by factors like household size, monthly income, and monthly expenses. While it seems as straightforward as a simple calculator with 3 variables, each case or family’s circumstance is unique. While life changes happen – like getting divorced, having a baby, or making less income – people may be eligible for more SNAP and often aren’t aware.
objective
What if navigating public benefits could feel like a reliable friend who has your back, maximizing dollars for those who need it most?
