Assessing Options for COVID-19 Payment Integrity Analytic Cells
Abstract
As of May 2020, the U.S. Congress and the Trump Administration have authorized more than $3 trillion in new money to counter the human and economic cost of the Coronavirus pandemic. The combination of the volume of funding, the wide array of uses, and the varying payment mechanisms present significant payment integrity risks. Along with the risk of errors in individuals applications and agencies processing, fraudsters began their activities in the immediate aftermath of the enactment of the four statutes (to date).For example, a major international fraud ring has already been identified attempting to secure fraudulent unemployment insurance payments from multiple states using stolen identities. With the immediate needs so great and the amount of funding at stake so significant, agencies and stakeholders must explore innovative new approaches to promote payment integrity. Analytic cells are one such approach a powerful, proven model that is available now
