Details & features
Operational alignment
Program Assurance will be strategically implemented in consultation with state systems experts from Shine Early Learning. The software will be configured to your specific programs and needs.
Integrated data
We'll connect to your subsidy, payment, licensing platforms and more to monitor for red flags and anomalies across the system.
Automated risk detection
Program Assurance provides clear notifications when fraud indicators surface so your team can take action and investigate further where needed.
Reduce improper payments
Fraud isn't the only threat to program integrity. High rates of improper payments can call your controls into question. Program Assurance will help you catch those issues early.
Strengthen public trust
Every dollar that gets lost to bad actors or human error is a dollar that doesn't make it to the families and providers that rely on financial assistance just to make ends meet.
Demonstrate your controls
With Program Assurance, you can easily respond to administrative inquiries and point to the strong, modern, and evolving controls you have implemented to safeguard your system.
