At MyFriendBen, we believe that everyone should be able to easily access information about public benefits, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance. Accessibility and inclusion are core to our mission of helping families find the support they need with dignity and ease.

Our Commitment

We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to provide a digital experience that meets or exceeds the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We continuously strive to enhance the usability of our website and make sure that all visitors can navigate, understand, and interact with our content effectively.

Measures We Take

To support accessibility, MyFriendBen:

• Designs and develops with accessibility in mind from the start.

• Uses clear and consistent structure, headings, and descriptive labels for navigation and forms.

• Adds alternative text for images to describe visual content.

• Ensures color contrast and readable typography across devices.

• Tests our website regularly with assistive technologies such as screen readers.

• Provides transcripts or captions for video and audio content when available.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We review our website periodically to identify and correct accessibility barriers. As new technologies and standards evolve, we will continue improving the user experience for everyone.

Third-Party Content

We encourage third-party providers to make their content accessible and will offer alternative ways to access essential information when possible.
