The GAO Shows That Data Matching Can Reduce Waste, Fraud, and Abuse
Excerpts:
In 2021, the GAO conducted a review of several programs that assist low-income individuals and concluded, among other things, that better data matching can prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, and can better direct funds to people that really need it.
In a report, the GAO looked at Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Housing Choice Vouchers, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Medicaid (Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) eligible), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). All of these programs have income eligibility requirements.
The amount of improper payments made for a number of federal assistance programs is staggering. In 2019, improper payments for four programs was around $90b: Medicaid ($57.4b), the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) ($17.4b), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) ($5.5b), and SNAP ($4b).
For energy assistance programs, the GAO added that “[b]ased on [its] review of state plans, 13 agencies administering LIHEAP reported using no electronic data to verify beneficiaries’ income, verifying income in other ways, such as checking beneficiaries’ documents.” The report added that while the U.S. “Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has encouraged LIHEAP agencies to use electronic data to improve program integrity, [it] has not taken recent steps to share information that could facilitate its use. HHS officials said that doing so could help state agencies’ verification efforts.

The Leviticus 25 Plan will eliminate massive amounts of personal and household debt for working, tax-paying Americans – and grant millions of American families liquidity benefits that will allow them to directly allocate resources that best suit their needs – particularly in the realm of health care.
The Plan will help lift people up economically to a level where they will not need, and subsequently will not qualify for, many of these social programs.
Reducing the raw numbers of people enrolled in these programs will also serve to reduce the scope of fraud, waste, and abuse.
The Leviticus 25 Plan is a dynamic economic initiative providing direct liquidity benefits for American families, while at the same time scaling back the role of government in managing and controlling the affairs of citizens. It is a comprehensive plan with long-term economic and social benefits for citizens and government.
The inspiration for this plan is based upon Biblical principles set forth in the Book of Leviticus, principles tendering direct economic liberties to the people.
