You determine eligibility for social programs: SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, housing assistance, childcare subsidies, energy assistance, and dozens of other programs — each with different income thresholds, asset tests, household composition rules, and documentation requirements. A single family may interact with 5–10 programs, each with separate applications, different eligibility workers, and different renewal cycles. The complexity creates access barriers: eligible people don't apply because they don't know they're eligible, can't navigate the process, or can't assemble the documentation.
You provide case management for populations with complex, multi-system needs: families in crisis (child welfare, housing instability, substance use), individuals experiencing homelessness, aging adults needing long-term care coordination, individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and re-entry populations. Caseworkers coordinate across agencies (housing, healthcare, behavioral health, employment, education, justice system), develop service plans, monitor progress, and advocate for their clients. Caseloads are typically too high (50–100+ per worker in many jurisdictions), creating triage-by-crisis rather than proactive management.
