DWSS is severe.
The technology to fix it already exists.
Division of Welfare and Supportive Services administers SNAP, TANF, Medicaid intake, and adjacent programs for Nevada residents from Carson City. Most state benefits systems were built before smartphones existed — paper forms, call-center queues, mainframe back-ends, and recertification letters that arrive after the deadline.
A resident-facing iOS/Android app for applications, document upload, status, and renewals. A caseworker portal with AI-assisted eligibility, queue routing, and audit-grade case notes. Branded for Nevada. Integrates with existing DWSS systems — no rip-and-replace.
From signed LOI to live pilot in one quarter.

What DWSS leaders ask before signing.
Eligibility is governed by Division of Welfare and Supportive Services (DWSS) rules — SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, and WIC — not by Fortis One. The platform automates the screening, document intake, and case routing so that eligible residents in Nevada never miss a deadline because of a broken form or a busy call center.
Residents can complete an application in under 12 minutes on their phone. Caseworkers see the case instantly in the DWSS portal. Most determinations that previously took 30–45 days are reduced to 7–14 days because data verification is pre-populated and AI-assisted, not manual.
Everything needed to go live in one pilot county: a white-labeled resident app (iOS, Android, web), a caseworker portal with AI-assisted eligibility, integration with DWSS's existing eligibility engines, staff training in Carson City, and a 30-day hypercare period after launch.
No. Fortis One wraps around your current back-end — whether it is a 1990s mainframe or a modern cloud system. We read and write via APIs and EDI where available, and provide manual fallback workflows where legacy systems require them. DWSS keeps what works; we fix what residents actually touch.
SNAP, TANF, Medicaid intake, WIC, and LIHEAP are live today. Additional Nevada programs — childcare subsidies, unemployment bridge benefits, emergency rental assistance — can be added in a subsequent configuration sprint.
The meeting that changes everything
for Nevada residents takes 30 minutes.
A live platform demo, a Nevada-specific executive proposal, and a draft Letter of Intent — ready for DWSS review.
