Benefits Discovery¶
Mira can look up benefit programs for a caregiver. A result is a program worth checking, not an eligibility, approval, payment, or legal determination. The projected program directory is the public inventory of reviewed programs.
The problem¶
An estimated 60 billion dollars in benefits go unclaimed every year2. Caregivers also spend their own money: three-quarters of the family caregivers AARP surveyed reported an average of $7,242 a year in out-of-pocket costs3.
See Benefits Landscape for the policy context and Market Gap for the unclaimed benefits analysis.
How it works¶
Mira draws on a knowledge catalog of four sources: benefits, resources, strategies, and guidance.1 Code screens benefits against the facts the caregiver has stated, and a fact about the person receiving care is used only for that person.1 The passages are the only facts a reply may state.1
How the runtime works is defined in the SMS runtime contract.
Program coverage¶
The owner projection changes as programs and evidence change. This page does not copy a count or a state list. Use the program directory for the current set, jurisdictions, evidence dates, and official links. See also the Benefits Landscape.
