The federal government’s benefits website, Benefits.gov, launched a mobile compatible version of its website, the U.S. Department of Labor announced Monday. The site has been enhanced for visitors using mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Federal officials say the changes make it easier for the public to access government benefit and assistance program information.
Mobile access to Benefits.gov increased by more than 200 percent in the last year, officials said.
The website features a “Benefit Finder,” a search tool that anonymously asks users questions to determine which government programs they may be eligible to receive. Visitors can also search for more information about available programs by browsing the site by state, category or federal agency. The website is available in English and Spanish.
