SSA Hyperscience retiree and survivors document automation

L2 · Supervised Unverified · Reported Federal Agency / Public Sector Operations

The US Social Security Administration awarded Hyperscience (with Accenture) a contract to automate processing of ~250 million retiree and survivors benefits documents a year (reported by Hyperscience)

Problem

SSA receives large volumes of birth certificates, W-2s, and citizenship papers by mail, email, and fax, which slows benefits processing (reported by Hyperscience)

Workflow

  1. Documents arrive via mail/email/fax into SSA channels
  2. Hyperscience Hypercell classifies and extracts data with ML/computer vision
  3. Extracted data flows into SSA electronic folder and downstream processes
  4. Tasks prioritized; SSA staff adjudicate benefits

Human-in-the-loop: Benefits adjudication remains with SSA staff; automation covers document intake and extraction.
