Streamlining Benefits Management for Government Agencies
Benefits management is a major responsibility for state and local governments. Applicants for SNAP, TANF, housing, and child care assistance face food instability and economic hardship, and they often are searching for assistance out of desperation.
However, with a customized Salesforce implementation from Provisio, government agencies can smoothen the entire process for vulnerable applicants already grappling with difficult life situations. In this article, we’ll explore how Provisio can harness Salesforce Public Sector Solutions Benefit Management, along with Salesforce Experience Cloud, to automate processes, increase transparency, and unveil new insights for state and local governments as a benefits manager.
Tracking, Transparency, and Automation
With Salesforce Benefit Management and Experience Cloud, Provisio builds a secure and scalable platform that increases transparency and collaboration between all stakeholders. Referral partners and constituents are both equipped with unified portals that provide 360-degree views of all interactions. Each party can track exactly where the application is in the process, and they can all communicate directly with each other to resolve issues and answer questions.
Beyond improved tracking and communications, Public Sector Solutions streamlines every step of benefits management – from application and eligibility determination to approval and disbursement. As a benefits manager, it boosts service delivery by simplifying the application process and automating eligibility and benefit calculation. Meanwhile, it unveils holistic insights with comprehensive data analytics that fuel better decisions for your program and the people you serve.
