Suchi Garg's presentation at DrupalCon Lille introduces an innovative approach to Rules as Code (RaC), a concept simplifying access to government benefits and entitlements. RaC, in conjunction with the OpenFisca engine and integrated into a Drupal site, offers a solution to the complex world of government regulations. By translating intricate legislation into code, RaC allows citizens to receive precise information through a user-friendly website, eliminating the need to navigate convoluted government websites.

Garg's presentation covers two projects. The first, a GovCMS proof of concept focusing on COVID-19 vaccination rules and eligibility, was completed in September 2022. The second project involves the New Zealand BenefitMe.nz site, launched in mid-December 2022, which features a web form allowing users to enter information sent to OpenFisca, streamlining the process of accessing government benefits. The presentation explores RaC's transformation process, its integration into the Drupal platform, and the creation of a user-friendly front-end experience. Garg's session showcases how RaC can revolutionize how citizens interact with government systems, offering a more straightforward and efficient means of accessing vital information.

The presentation by Suchi Garg at DrupalCon Lille 2023 provides a deep dive into RaC and its practical applications within the Drupal environment, offering insights into the future of government benefits and entitlement accessibility.
