Original Abstract Submitted

a method for facilitating benefit disbursements through the use of tokens and blockchain includes: receiving beneficiary information from a first computing system, the beneficiary information including a beneficiary identifier; storing a blockchain data entry, the blockchain data entry including a disbursement token associated with the beneficiary information and a recipient value generated using a public key of a cryptographic key pair; receiving a redemption message from a second computing system, the redemption message including the disbursement token, a digital signature generated using a private key of the cryptographic key pair, transaction account data, and a redemption amount; validating the digital signature using the public key of the cryptographic key pair; and transmitting a transfer message to the first computing system, the transfer message including the transaction account data and the redemption amount.
