Benefits Data Trust
Using Data to Deliver Services Where They Are Needed Most
Abstract
Despite the availability of public programs to help Americans meet myriad basic needs, millions do not enroll. Benefits Data Trust is a results-oriented and outcomes-driven organization with the mission of connecting those who need but do not access these benefits to the relevant service providers. Partnerships between Benefits Data Trust and various Pennsylvania departments have helped at-need individuals realize hundreds of millions of dollars in essential services. Benefits Data Trust relies on data to ascertain who is in need as well as downstream impact, and provides a useful model to be replicated nationally.
