We’re modernizing government benefit program applications with verified data prefill, making critical support accessible to those who need it most.
To transform the way government delivers benefits by replacing complexity with clarity, delays with speed, and frustration with dignity.
Every day, millions of Americans navigate confusing, time-consuming processes to access benefits they're entitled to. Many give up. Others wait months for decisions. State agencies struggle under the weight of outdated systems and overwhelming caseloads.
We believe it doesn't have to be this way. By leveraging verified third-party data and intelligent automation, we're building a future where applying for benefits is as simple as renewing car insurance—where eligible families get help quickly, and agencies can focus on serving people.
Our founder and CEO, Pete Justen, understands the cost of broken systems on a deeply personal level.
When his mother needed Medicaid, what should have been a straightforward process became a four-month ordeal filled with uncertainty, stress, and frustration. Every morning, she would call him, anxious and desperate for an update—wondering if she’d been approved, if she could afford the care she needed, if she’d slipped through the cracks of the system.
Watching his mother endure this unnecessary hardship made something painfully clear: the problem wasn’t eligibility—it was process.
Her experience isn’t unique. Across the country, seniors, families, and vulnerable individuals face the same delays, confusion, and emotional strain when trying to access benefits they’re entitled to. AmeriTrust Solutions was built to change that, so no one else has to go through what Pete’s mom endured.
We design with compassion, understanding that every application represents a family in need.
We continuously improve, embracing new technologies and approaches to serve people better.
We protect program integrity and taxpayer dollars while maintaining beneficiary privacy and dignity.
We work hand-in-hand with government agencies, understanding their unique challenges and constraints.
Government benefit programs serve as America’s social safety net, providing healthcare, nutrition assistance, unemployment support, and more to over 100 million Americans. Yet these critical programs are often delivered through systems designed decades ago—systems built for paper forms and manual verification.
AmeriTrust Solutions addresses these challenges by bringing benefit program administration into the digital age—not just digitizing forms, but fundamentally rethinking how eligibility is determined and verified.
We start by understanding the real experiences of applicants and caseworkers. Every feature we build is designed to reduce burden, increase clarity, and restore dignity to the application process.
Instead of asking applicants to gather and submit documents, we retrieve verified information from trusted third-party sources. This approach is faster, more accurate, and less burdensome for everyone involved.
We measure what matters—application completion rates, processing times, accuracy, and user satisfaction. These metrics drive our product roadmap and ensure we're delivering real value.
We don't just sell software—we partner with agencies to implement, optimize, and continuously improve. We share your goals and measure our success by your outcomes.
Peter Justen is a GovTech entrepreneur focused on fixing broken government systems that prevent people from accessing critical benefits. As the founder and CEO of AmeriTrust Solutions, his company is modernizing Medicaid and public benefits applications by replacing paperwork-heavy processes with verified data automation—cutting 200-question forms down to about 20 questions completed in minutes.
Before founding AmeriTrust Solutions, Peter led successful ventures in mortgage lending, financial services, and data analytics. For the nation’s largest mortgage lender, he launched an internal startup that originated more than $1.8 billion in new loans in just 18 months, and later co-founded a financial services firm in Washington, D.C., growing it to over 1,100 alliance partners before leading a successful exit to a publicly traded company. His drive to modernize government systems is deeply personal, sparked by his mother’s four-month struggle to access Medicaid—an experience that revealed the true cost of bureaucratic failure.
Beyond his entrepreneurial work, Peter has briefed the Department of Commerce, the Federal Reserve Bank, and members of Congress, and has been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Entrepreneur, and FOX News Radio. He was named one of Smart CEO Magazine’s “20 Leaders We Admire” and recognized internationally as a “shining example of U.S. innovation,” and continues to advocate for technology that ensures the right people receive the care they deserve.
