At the center of our solution is a mobile‑first, self‑service portal where members can easily report activity hours, request exemptions, and upload documentation directly from any device. States can electronically verify information with employers or community organizations to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.

The portal also offers a job board to help members search for employment opportunities and a digital health risk assessment that identifies the health and social supports they may need to enter the workforce or engage in community activities.
