THE EXISTING PROBLEMS TO SOLVE

Solving SNAP agencies’ most persistent pain points

Households don’t respond in time

Paper notices arrive at old addresses and go unopened. Deadlines pass, cases close for procedural reasons, and households who still qualify lose benefits — then reapply, adding work back onto the same caseload.

Income information drives the error rate

55.5% of SNAP payment errors are due to income errors. Wages, household changes, shelter costs, and utilities all affect determinations — and incomplete or incorrectly entered information creates errors that are costly to correct downstream.

Proving the determination is manual

When USDA quality control reviews a case, the evidence is scattered across call notes, scanned images, and mail logs. Assembling what the household was asked and what they provided becomes its own workload.

WHY CHOOSE USHUR

Reduce payment errors by fixing the front door, not the back office.

Households can speak, type, tap, and upload documents as they go. Spoken responses appear on screen for confirmation, on-screen actions are acknowledged by voice, and the AI Agent keeps the household on track through required questions and follow-up steps until the journey is complete.

Voice + visual

A synchronized experience — what's said and what's on screen stay in step.

74 languages

Automatic detection of the language being spoken, with real-time translation.

Accessible

ADA-accessible experiences so self-service works across the full caseload.

Complete

Validation, escalation, and follow-up until the journey actually finishes.

Your systems AI Agents Voice SMS Email Web Household

Built to reach, support, and complete SNAP journeys.

Proactive outreach, guided self-service, and secure document processing work together to help households complete what's required — accurately and on time.

01

Outbound

Proactively notify households before a recertification, interim report, or other requirement is due — triggered automatically by case-management data, so nothing depends on the household remembering a deadline.

02

Inbound

Give households a way to answer eligibility questions, report income or household changes, and submit documents such as pay stubs and ID across SMS, email, voice, or web. Ushur extracts and structures information from submitted documents automatically, reducing manual re-keying and the errors it introduces.

03

Audit trail

Capture every interaction, response, and submission end to end, giving agencies a clear record to support eligibility determinations and USDA quality-control review.

04

Access

Support households in 74 languages, automatically detect the language being spoken, and provide ADA-accessible experiences so self-service works for the whole caseload — not just the easiest-to-reach part of it.

Plain-language questions by voice or text, with on-screen confirmation of each answer.

03 - COLLECT

Capture documents

Pay stubs, ID, and proof of expenses uploaded in the moment and read automatically.

Check before submit

Missing fields are asked for and values checked while the household is still engaged.

FAQs

Common Questions. Answered

Is Ushur replacing our case-management system?

No. Ushur sits in front of it. It handles the front door — reaching the household, guiding them through what's required, and capturing clean, structured information — then hands that information to your system of record. Eligibility determinations stay exactly where they are made today, and the certified system you already run doesn't change.

How does this actually reduce payment errors rather than just moving them?

By improving the inputs instead of correcting the outputs. Questions are asked the same way every time, answers are validated during the conversation, documents are read at the moment they're submitted, and follow-up is automatic when something is incomplete. The difference is between chasing a flawed record weeks after QC flags it and never creating one — most of what surfaces in review is missing or stale information, not a household who stopped qualifying.

Households don't respond to our notices today. Why would they respond to this?

Because the outreach goes where the household already is. The same journey runs across voice, SMS, email, and web, triggered by case-management data rather than a print cycle, and the household can switch channels mid-interaction without starting over. Someone who ignores a mailed notice may still answer a text; someone on the phone can be sent a secure link and finish visually while still talking.

What happens when a household needs to speak to a worker?

The interaction transfers with full context — what was asked, what was answered, and what was submitted — so nobody is made to repeat themselves. Self-service absorbs the routine volume; worker time goes to the cases that genuinely need judgment rather than to reading a form aloud.

How does the audit trail support USDA quality-control review?

Every interaction, response, and submission is captured end to end, with timestamps and each document as it was received. Reviewers get a single clear record of what the household was asked, what they provided, and when — rather than evidence assembled after the fact from call notes, scanned images, and mail logs.

How are language access and accessibility handled?

Households are supported in 74 languages, with the spoken language detected automatically rather than requiring the household to select it first. Experiences are built to be ADA-accessible, including screen-reader support and keyboard navigation, so a household using assistive technology completes the same journey as anyone else — language and disability shouldn't decide who keeps their benefits.

How is household information protected?

PII and case data are handled under enterprise-grade controls, with role-based access, configurable guardrails enforced as agents operate, human oversight, and a complete record of every interaction. Identity is verified before any case-specific detail is shared, and sensitive exchanges move to a secure channel rather than staying in plain SMS or email.
