Advocates’ Guide to Automated Notices
A practical guide for advocates that explains how automated benefit notices are generated, where common notice failures originate, and how to push for effective fixes.
This guide breaks down automated notices into static, conditional, and dynamic components, showing how errors can arise from backend eligibility systems, notice templates, or delivery processes.
It maps common notice problems—such as missing information, confusing language, or incorrect deadlines—to likely technical or procedural causes, helping advocates diagnose root issues. The document also outlines short-term workarounds and longer-term system reforms advocates can pursue to protect due process and improve notice quality across public benefits programs.
