Intro
Minnesotans expect modern, digital applications that can provide access to services at any time, from any place, and in an equitable and secure manner. In 2023, the Minnesota Legislature provided $40 million of funding over four years for the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF). The TMF allows Minnesota IT Services to fund projects and efforts that modernize, secure, and improve the customer experience of executive branch technology systems. Read descriptions of the approved projects below. The Modernization Steering Team recommends and monitors proposals for the Technology Modernization Fund. The team consists of leaders from MNIT and agency partners.
TMF Funds will be for efforts that:
- Improve customer experience
- Create or improve digital services
- Address a security risk
- Modernize a business process
- Improve resiliency, operational efficiency, and/or risk reduction
- Align to the One Minnesota Plan
- Move to a shared or market-based technology solution
- Leverage AI or automation
Projects
This initiative strengthens Minnesota’s ability to deliver SNAP benefits accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with evolving federal requirements—ensuring that eligible Minnesotans receive the food assistance they need without unnecessary delays, errors, or confusion. By implementing a modern application integration layer that connects core eligibility and benefits systems, the state will address long-standing technology gaps while building a foundation for long-term improvement.
