Challenge

What we were solving.

Granite State's legacy benefits portal served 1.4M residents but had a 23% application abandonment rate and a 14-day median processing time. The platform was also inaccessible to residents using screen readers, generating ADA complaints.

Solution

What we built.

We designed and built a new citizen-facing benefits platform with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility baked in, plain-language forms, and a state-of-the-art identity verification flow that meets NIST 800-63 IAL2.

The platform launched in 8 months and is now used by 89% of applicants, with a 31 NPS.

Results

What changed.

Application abandonment dropped from 23% to 6%

Median processing time reduced from 14 days to 3 days

WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility validated by a third-party audit

NPS of 31 from applicants — best in the state's digital portfolio
