The U.S. has been experiencing the fastest price inflation since the late 1980s, and households across the country are feeling the weight of rising costs - notably for necessities like food or housing. There are programs that can help, like the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP), but families often miss the deadline to recertify. BDT created a guidebook that helps government staff address recertification by leveraging text messaging for more timely outreach.
