Code For America has developed a new application process for California's food stamp program, CalFresh, which significantly reduces the time it takes for applicants to apply from hours to just 11 minutes. The team used Twilio SMS and Front to power the new system, allowing applicants to submit their information via text message or picture of required documents, such as IDs or utility bills. This change has resulted in higher response rates to applicant questions, with people more likely to reply directly if they have queries, rather than waiting for a response through email. The new process is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, leveraging the device applicants already use, their mobile phones, to make the application process more efficient and effective.
