AI agent for social workers
Benefits Application Deadline Agent
Submit complete applications on time and keep benefits active
What it does
Benefit applications and renewals for food, health coverage, disability or housing support have deadlines and long document lists, and a missed one can cut off support. This agent tracks each client's applications and renewal dates, lists the documents each program needs, and marks which are collected. Two weeks before a deadline it reminds the worker, drafts a client reminder, and drafts letters requesting proof from employers or landlords. Seven days out it checks that everything is submitted. If not, it escalates to the worker with options such as an extension request. It watches the agency portal and flags requests for more information or denials. The worker approves every submission and appeal. Edge case: renewal dates are tracked from the case file, since notices sent to an old address go unseen.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
