The problem
New federal rules require most adults on SNAP to document 80 hours a month of work, training, or volunteering, or lose benefits after three months. Medicaid adds the same requirement starting January 1, 2027. Volunteer hours count for both.
The accepted proof today is a letter on nonprofit letterhead. Nonprofits write these by hand, late, or not at all — not because they don't care, but because a coordinator already stretched thin has fifty other things to do first. People lose benefits they earned because the paperwork didn't catch up, not because they didn't do the work.
What we do
A coordinator confirms a shift with one tap. That confirmation becomes a digitally signed record — a one-page letter with a QR code, generated automatically. Anyone with the code or a link can check it's real at verifiedhours.org, instantly, with no account and no phone call to the nonprofit. If an hour is ever corrected, the old letter is marked superseded and a new one takes its place — nothing is quietly edited.
Who it's for
Volunteers
Adults meeting a SNAP or Medicaid hours requirement
Why: Your benefits shouldn't depend on whether a busy coordinator got around to writing a letter. Today, that's often exactly what happens.
What you get: Link your phone, join the nonprofits you volunteer with, and see your hours and pace toward 80 add up in real time. When you need proof, get a signed letter in seconds — not weeks.
Get startedNonprofits
Coordinators and the staff or volunteers who confirm hours
Why: You already have too much to do. Writing hours letters by hand, one volunteer at a time, is real work that keeps falling to the bottom of the list — and someone's benefits ride on it.
What you get: Confirm a shift from your phone in seconds. Letters generate themselves. It's free, and it works whether or not you use another volunteer platform.
Set up your organizationCaseworkers & E&T staff
Anyone who has to accept a volunteer hours letter as proof
Why: A letter on plain paper is easy to fake and hard to verify, and there's rarely time to call a nonprofit to check one.
What you get: Scan the QR code or open the link on any letter. See instantly whether it's valid, has been corrected, or doesn't exist — no login, no phone call.

State and county agencies, E&T providers, MCOs
Why: One letter at a time doesn't tell you who across your whole caseload is on track, at risk, or about to fall short — until it's too late to help them.
What you get: A dashboard of consented recipients' hours, pace, and risk, an audit log of who looked at what, a CSV export, and a read-only API — built for oversight at scale, not paperwork.
Every record is cryptographically signed and independently verifiable — we publish the public key so anyone can check a record even offline. Recipients own their data: no health or income information is collected, and nothing is ever sold.
