Anthropic, Code for America pilot AI tools for SNAP eligibility support - Government Executive

The tools include a SNAP Policy Navigator designed to help caseworkers answer policy questions and review eligibility documents. The partnership was announced in May 2026.

The SNAP Policy Navigator will utilize Anthropic's AI models to interpret federal regulations and provide guidance to caseworkers during eligibility assessments. According to the announcement, the tool aims to reduce the time caseworkers spend consulting policy manuals and increase consistency in decision-making. The pilot will initially be deployed in a select number of state offices, with Code for America coordinating implementation and collecting user feedback.

The initiative is part of a broader trend of integrating AI into government services. The partnership combines Anthropic's expertise in AI safety with Code for America's experience in government technology modernization.
