In partnership with the State of Maryland, Nava Labs is creating, testing, and piloting an #AI-powered service to modernize and automate critical aspects of work requirement verification to help states comply with recent federal H.R. 1 legislation. Maryland residents will benefit from automated document verification, which can flag document upload errors earlier — resulting in faster benefit determinations for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP). Automated document verification also reduces time caseworkers might spend validating or correcting documents, allowing them to focus on strategic tasks. The project will prevent wrongful benefit terminations, lower the compliance load on Maryland residents, significantly reduce manual workload and administrative burden for caseworkers, and drastically improve data accuracy. Over the past couple months, our team has been busy with stakeholder and user research, system architecture discussions, prototyping, concept testing, and more. Join our virtual demo day where we’ll cover: - Project overview - Early findings from stakeholder and user research - Prototypes - Our roadmap for what’s next Register to secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/gwqYy2My 

A little last minute but excited to be heading back to ASU+GSV Summit (and my first one as a member of Nava). There's perhaps more to talk about than ever, and a few topics I'm particularly looking forward to digging into with folks: Student benefit enrollment. When I first started Edquity (Beam 1.0), a lot of high impact referral and benefit enrollment efforts were just fundamentally impossible due to technological limitations. We’re seeing in real time that what was aspirational is now possible, and I'd love to discuss this with my basic needs tribe. At Nava Labs, we’re successfully driving SNAP submission and enrollment in California and this can be easily adapted to student use cases. Workforce pathways, data system interoperability, and building resilience across workforce and benefits. I’d love to learn how states are making progress on connectivity among workforce and labor, education and financial aid, and human services systems, and where we see opportunities to drive the right enrollment and referral outcomes across systems. Nava is actively administering state integrated eligibility systems, financial aid systems, unemployment insurance systems, and others, and there are material opportunities to ensure these systems aren't operating in silo in service of learning and workforce outcomes. Making workforce pell work. At a moment of urgent upskilling and reskilling, I’m curious to hear how institutional leaders are thinking about crafting training programs and also administering the compliance-oriented elements related to workforce pell. AI upskilling, and the care economy labor force. I’m of course interested in learning how folks are approaching upskilling for the AI economy, but also I’m curious what explicit efforts are in flight to increase the supply of care economy workers, including in child care, elder care, and health care, at a time of desperate shortfall. Being in community. Honestly, just excited to see folks. Jessica Haselton Patrick Maloney Michael Meotti Adam Goldfarb William Moses Yigal Kerszenbaum Ben Watsky Grant Schroll Matthew Gee Marie Groark and many others.
