The report argues for moving U.S. public benefits policy from static PDF documents to standardized, machine-readable code, providing the conceptual foundation for GiveCare's eligibility engine.
Current benefits communication relies on prose that is ambiguous and inconsistent across jurisdictions, quantifying the problem GiveCare's structured rules approach solves.
The report catalogs existing rules-as-code efforts internationally, positioning GiveCare's work within a broader movement toward computable policy.
Standardized code formats enable automated testing of policy logic, directly informing GiveCare's eligibility-rule test harness design.
The authors recommend open-source, version-controlled policy repositories, aligning with GiveCare's approach to maintaining eligibility rules in the monorepo.
