This research paper introduces a novel neuro-symbolic framework designed to enhance accountability in public-sector AI systems. The framework links AI-generated decision justifications to specific legal rules, using CalFresh, California's food assistance program, as a case study. It combines a structured ontology of eligibility requirements with a rule extraction pipeline and a solver-based reasoning layer to identify and correct legally inconsistent explanations, thereby supporting procedural accountability.
