I've completed the initial eligibility scan for Maria's household. Based on her employment history, household size (3), and income drop, she qualifies for 6 programs across 4 agencies. I've auto-enrolled her in Unemployment and SNAP โ no action needed from Maria. Healthcare requires a plan selection, which I'll guide her through.
