  eEligibility

Description:
eEligibility will be a "one-stop" eligibility shop for customers to determine the USDA programs and services for which they are eligible across all USDA agencies. Once citizens and public/private organizations create an initial prescreening profile and determine their potential eligibility, they will be able to apply through multiple mechanisms to manage the application process online. Internally, customer relationship management capabilities will be built to assist program administrators in managing and coummunicating with citizens. This initiative could allow well over 50 million potential program beneficiaries including farmers, low-income families, schoolchildren, seniors, and rural households to quickly determine what benefits they are eligible to receive from USDA.
