Join BEN and Create the First True Benefits Network for LMI Citizens
Every year, human service programs aid millions of people and transfer hundreds of billions in cash and non-cash assistance. Yet, in many cases, only half of the people who are eligible receive the benefits. Tens of thousands of individuals — from state agency caseworkers to healthcare workers — are dedicated to correcting this problem. Until now they did not have an easy and powerful way to overcome the challenges of reaching out to low- and moderate-income (LMI) Americans.
Imagine what would happen if your organization could easily reach out to more of today's LMI citizens — and easily help them apply for and receive more human service benefits. Now imagine that every community, state, and national human service organization had the same easy ability to help people access all available benefits programs. The result would, without a doubt, be potent enough to break through every obstacle standing between today's human service benefits and all of the LMI families who need them to overcome their current financial and social challenges.
Nets to Ladders (N2L) pursued this vision in the development of the Benefits Enrollment Network (BEN), today's first Web-based benefits management software service. When participating organizations connect to BEN's sophisticated and easy-to-use software tools, they gain the power to improve the results of every action they take with every employed LMI citizen — from the initial qualification screening, to application management, to case management and re-certification.
Accomplishing Three Critical Goals
To bring all of BEN's benefits to communities across the country requires three critical steps:
- The support of United Way of America, who understands the importance and complexity of delivering financial stability (see http://www.unitedway.org/fsp/) to the LMI community.
- A powerful, standardized, and easy-to-use Web-based software service with functionality designed specifically for the benefits-management needs of today's human service organizations and employers.
- The participation of the essential community-based organizations, government agencies, educational facilities, healthcare providers, and employers that work with today's working-poor citizens.
To complete our mission of creating the first automated nationwide benefits management software network, we'd like to invite your organization to become a part of what is sure to be a revolution in the lives of million of the country's struggling families. With the support of BEN's automated functionality, they will finally receive the most comprehensive benefits support ever available. And with complete support they can enjoy a better and easier opportunity to be lifted above their current circumstances and towards lives of self-sufficiency.
