mRelief

mRelief offers an online and SMS tool for low-income Americans to find out if they qualify for social services.

mRelief is a Chicago-based all-woman software development team. The company's niche is streamlining social services delivery through eligibility determination for public benefits done through adaptive questionnaires available online and through text messaging. After a user completes a form, our website generates personalized results for users on which safety net programs they qualify for and actionable steps -- whether they qualify or not. In this way, our platform efficiently facilitates discovery of programs fostering economic relief for people in poverty. mRelief's tool is integrated into City of Chicago administered centers, has reduced eligibility determination time by 75 percent. mRelief is contracted with the City of Chicago to build tools to help low-income parents determine eligibility for early childhood programs. In addition, we have launched the Public Template, a universal tool in private beta that helps program providers generate their own eligibility screeners, view data, and customize response pages.
