The partnership integrates Argyle’s consent-based verification (CBV) platform with Cúram’s eligibility and case management platform, enabling agencies to replace slow, document-heavy verification with a faster, more accurate digital experience where government benefit applicants share their direct-source income, employment, and work-hours data in real time.
The story at a glance
- Cúram is partnering with Argyle to modernize how public sector agencies verify applicant income and employment.
- The integrated solution enables applicants to share real-time income, employment, and work hours data directly from the source, eliminating manual verification delays and errors.
Public sector agencies face a real challenge: processing benefits quickly and accurately while managing growing caseloads with limited resources. Traditional eligibility verification methods rely on applicants manually submitting pay stubs, tax documents, and other proof of income, which can slow processing times, increase caseworker workload, and introduce errors. Today’s workforce adds another layer of complexity, with many residents earning income from multiple employers, gig platforms, and freelance arrangements.
By combining Cúram’s industry-leading eligibility determination and case management capabilities with Argyle’s CBV technology, agencies can now use real-time, direct-source data that applicants share at their direction and with their informed consent. Applicants complete Argyle’s connection flow to securely share eligibility data from their payroll provider, gig platform, employer, or bank account, then review and certify the information being shared and direct its electronic transfer. Cúram automatically uses the direct-source data applicants share to support eligibility determination and case processing, removing the friction and delays associated with traditional methods.
“Today’s workforce looks much different than what many legacy verification processes were built for,” said Sean Gilbert, Vice President of Partnerships for Cúram. “By bringing Argyle’s consent-based verification into Cúram, we’re helping agencies meet residents where they are — whether they’re W-2 employees, gig workers, or juggling multiple jobs — while giving caseworkers back the time they need to focus on the cases that require real human judgment.”
“Residents should be able to share their income data for government benefits as easily as they do for other important financial decisions,” said Argyle CEO & Founder Shmulik Fishman. “Partnering with Cúram lets us bring that experience directly into the eligibility workflows agencies already use, so applicants can share their income data straight from the source in minutes instead of waiting days or weeks to gather paperwork.”
The integrated solution supports a broad range of programs through a single consumer-directed verification process, including SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, Child Care Assistance, Housing Programs, LIHEAP, and Unemployment and Workforce Services. The result is a faster, more efficient eligibility determination process for applicants, caseworkers, and agencies alike, with accelerated eligibility decisions, improved applicant satisfaction, reduced administrative burden, and stronger program integrity.
