State of Maryland Partners with Anthropic to Deploy Claude Across Government Agencies

Maryland has announced a partnership with Anthropic to deploy Claude across multiple state agencies, targeting benefits access, document processing, and workforce upskilling. Key applications include a virtual assistant for SNAP/Medicaid/WIC enrollment, AI-assisted document verification for 150,000+ monthly caseworker documents, and a community needs analysis tool. The partnership builds on a June 2025 bilingual chatbot deployment for SUN Bucks recipients and is positioned as a replicable model for other states, developed alongside the Rockefeller Foundation and Percepta.
