It Takes a Network to Beat a Network: How Agencies Can Protect Constituent-Facing Services from Fraud

Experts from ID.me and the Identity Theft Resource Center explore the link between equity and fraud in online government services delivery and recommend how industry and government can partner to improve the path for identity verification.

 

The explosion of online identity theft and pandemic-related benefits fraud is evolving into a threat to American national and economic security. Deploying digital identity verification solutions more effectively can reverse that trajectory while increasing access to benefits for those who need them most.

Domestic and foreign crime rings that drove fraud in unemployment benefits are moving to other sectors. Digital identity providers are the first line of defense against that fraud. During this webinar, we’ll explore the link between equity and fraud in online government services delivery and recommend how industry and government can partner to improve the path for identity verification.

Highlights:
  • A detailed look at what controls stopped different fraud types during the pandemic
  • The challenges in providing equitable access for the most vulnerable populations while stopping the crime rings that would exploit them
  • Recommendations for how our industry can overcome our challenges, including refined National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, a push for common metrics, and enabling consumer choice
