States' Efforts to Detect Duplicate Public Assistance Payments.

Abstract

In a June 1979 letter, the former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance requested that we: (1) determine which States have or are currently performing intrastate matches of public assistance rolls, (2) determine which States have used the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS') Interjurisdictional Data Exchange (IDEX) model (for performing matches), (3) select several States and perform various analyses of their AFDC computerized beneficiary records by using identifiers other than just the social security number to detect duplication, and (4) match duplicates found on the AFDC rolls with the Medicaid and Food Stamp computerized beneficiary records to determine the impact on those programs.
