“Efficiency for efficiency’s sake is not the goal,” explains Marina Nitze in today’s episode of The Government Fix. Efficiency is about a lot more than obliterating steps in a process. It needs to have an outcomes goal attached to it.

@Pluginforsolar Thank you for sharing!

SNAP is a household benefit. When a parent or caregiver loses eligibility, kids lose food assistance too. With new eligibility and paperwork requirements under H.R. 1, more than 1 million children have already lost access to SNAP benefits.

If you qualify for New Jersey’s Child Tax Credit, we want to make sure you get it.

That’s why we’ve extended SimpleFile through November 16, giving eligible families more time to claim $1,000 for each child age 5 or younger.

This money can help cover everyday expenses like groceries or childcare. Learn more at https://t.co/ArRmRW5cmO.

To support maternal health outcomes, @NJGov used digital forms to make it easier for doulas to serve families covered by Medicaid. Three teams shared how they turned an hour-long process into one that takes 20 minutes at #FormFest2026: https://t.co/ZFUHiI25SM

What if lowering your electric bill was as easy as plugging something into the wall?

This week on The Government Fix, Amanda Renteria talks with Utah State Rep. Ray Ward about how plug-in solar could make power more affordable and accessible.

To access Medicaid or SNAP, people have to prove their income. Consent-based verification lets them give a state permission to check it directly with their employer. But trust is one of the biggest barriers. How would you build it?

What an incredible #FormFest2026! We heard repeatedly how powerful a well-designed form can be for improving user experience—and therefore how much power form designers have in shaping someone’s interaction with government. Read our reflections: https://t.co/AtBlzkGnY5

@RacePowerPolicy Thanks to David for joining! What stands out to us is that Connecticut made Baby Bond enrollment automatic for every baby whose birth is covered by Medicaid. Policy and design choices that reduce barriers can determine whether a program actually reaches the people it's meant for.
