Reconceptualizing Public Procurement to Strengthen State Benefits Delivery and Improve People-Centered Outcomes

Approximately two-thirds of people living in the United States between the ages of 20 and 65 will use a safety net benefit for at least one year. Despite the billions of dollars spent by state governments to meet this demand, the digital systems behind essential services—including unemployment insurance, food assistance, or medicare—regularly fail to deliver.

Now is the time to rethink how we procure safety net technology. Together with New America DIGI and public contracting experts from around the country, we will discuss the culture shift and actionable reforms needed to transform our opaque, inefficient, and compliance-driven procurement processes.

Join our two-part panel: Wednesday, October 19th from 1:00 – 2:30pm ET.
