Overview

Propel builds and operates a free mobile app called Providers that helps low‑income Americans manage welfare benefits, save money, and earn income. The app provides instant EBT balance checks, removing the need to call a help line, and offers personalized coupons, resources, and job postings that fit different schedules, from gig work to full‑time roles. Propel likely earns revenue through partnerships with businesses that supply the tailored deals and job opportunities featured in the app, while keeping the service free for users across all 50 states and 3 territories. A key goal is to raise awareness about Medicaid churn during post‑pandemic unwinding and to meet users where they already are to help them navigate the safety net more effectively.
