One of the most challenging aspects of casework is when programs and benefits collide: a veteran might have a permanent disability rating with the VA, but need to recertify for SSDI, or a slight change in income that increases one benefit makes another one fall by a larger amount. For individuals, these interactions can be confusing; for the economy and government spending as a whole, they can have huge impacts.

In this webinar, Max Ghenis, CEO and co-founder of PolicyEngine, delves deeper into this conundrum. PolicyEngine has developed open-source tools that empower anyone to input details about a household and subsequently estimate their taxes and benefits. This provides a clearer understanding of the intricate ways in which various programs interact. Max also discusses the nuances of navigating the complex web of interacting programs, and the experience of building PolicyEngine.
