BenefitsBridge

A benefits navigator, in plain language, that refuses to answer without an official citation.

Loaded rules: Maryland LIHEAP · SNAP

Informational only. This is not an eligibility determination. A caseworker makes the real decision. BenefitsBridge only explains official rules and shows you the source.

How BenefitsBridge stays safe

  1. Grounded only. It answers using only the official rules it has loaded. Ask about a program it doesn't have and it refuses. It never guesses.
  2. Every claim is cited. Each statement carries a quote copied word for word from the official rule, checked live in your browser. A statement that can't be traced is not shown as fact.
  3. Never a determination. It informs ("you may qualify if…") but never decides ("you qualify"). A determination is a caseworker's job, so the tool blocks itself from making one.

The verification runs in citation.js: pure JavaScript, no network, no LLM. The model is swappable; the check is not.
