One project, funded by Center for Civic Futures: This project will expand the state’s GenAI platform with new tools aimed at simplifying access to state programs. This includes support for Human Services, Labor, Agriculture, Economic Development, Maternal and Infant Health, the Business Action Center, and other departments that oversee crucial programs such as Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, and more. Each tool addresses a specific barrier—such as record matching for cross-program eligibility, document validation and processing, and internal decision memo generation—to help residents access benefits faster and with fewer errors. The project will also explore how New Jersey’s innovations can be implemented in other states.
