Nava is excited to announce we won a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Alaska Department of Health (DOH) Division of Public Assistance (DPA)!  We'll support DPA’s ongoing modernization of the state’s eligibility information system and integrated eligibility services. These systems enable state staff to determine applicants’ benefit eligibility and manage benefit applications across programs, like Medicaid or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gXxP_8mZ

#FormFest2025 is happening virtually tomorrow! Check out the session profile including Nava’s very own Jillian Hammer and Kaylyn Van Norstrand as well as Stephen Rockwell and Charna Widby! They’ll be talking about Riverside County’s pilot of an #AI submission agent that streamlines benefit applications, reducing bureaucratic burden on families in crisis while freeing caseworkers to focus on human connection.

We report annually on our progress as a public benefit corporation. I feel grateful that there's never any shortage of stories to tell, but also there's just so much work that goes on behind the scenes that never hits publication – simmering risks that were solved, uneventful launches, and the difficult work of maintaining momentum in a shifting landscape. Join me in a few weeks as we launch virtually our 2025 Public Benefit Report! We've got amazing panelists who've seen it all, and we'll be sharing what we can about some of our recent work.

Get ready to connect! Our Networking Hub wouldn’t be the hub of ideas & connections without Carahsoft Technology Corp. and Nava. 🤝 Thanks for helping set the stage for conversations that will spark innovation at NASCIO 2025. Denver networking vibes, here we come! #NASCIO25 👉 https://lnkd.in/eut575NH
