Building a New Model for Increasing Access to Public Benefits in North Carolina
May 6, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 12:50 PM ET
Public benefit programs that provide critical support—such as Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, housing assistance, and child care subsidies—are governed by complex eligibility rules, reporting requirements, and administrative processes that change frequently. HR1 has exacerbated the public benefit access challenges faced by state agencies, communities and residents as they seek to maximize delivery and use of public benefits and reduce costs and barriers to participation. Join us to learn how philanthropy and field partners in North Carolina are working to develop a new model of public benefits access information exchange that works across issue silos and centers participant voice and experience.
