Government assistance programs exist to help people. But navigating them is confusing, fragmented, and exhausting. We built BenefitPath to change that.
Over 1.4 million Georgians receive SNAP benefits. Another 2.2 million are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. But studies show that millions more qualify for these and other programs — and simply don't know it. Or they knew and got overwhelmed trying to navigate the system.
We started BenefitPath because we've seen this firsthand — in our communities, in our churches, in our families. The process of figuring out what you qualify for is a full-time job, and most people don't have the time or the knowledge to do it.
BenefitPath is a single place where any Georgian can answer five simple questions and instantly see every program they likely qualify for — with plain-English explanations and direct links to apply. No jargon. No confusion. No gatekeeping.
We started in Georgia because we know Georgia. And when this works here, we'll take it everywhere.
It's not laziness. It's a broken system — and the data proves it.
3rd highest in the country — largely due to paperwork and navigation failures, not fraud.
Too much income for Medicaid, too little for marketplace subsidies. Many don't know programs exist for them.
Due to paperwork confusion — not ineligibility. They qualified. They just got lost in the process.
Most Georgians who need help actually qualify for multiple programs — but applying to each one separately is an enormous barrier.
The people who need benefits most should never hit a paywall. BenefitPath is free for all Georgia residents, no exceptions.
We will never sell your data. Your eligibility information is yours. We built this tool to help people, not profit from their circumstances.
We'd rather show fewer programs confidently than show everything and be wrong. We clearly flag what's certain vs. estimated.
Technology can't replace human relationships. We work alongside churches, nonprofits, and community leaders — not instead of them.
Government language is written for lawyers, not people. We translate every program rule into language anyone can understand.
Our nonprofit/enterprise model ensures BenefitPath remains free for individuals forever — not dependent on grants that disappear.
Our small team brings together expertise in cloud engineering, community organizing, and social services navigation.
