This book was released on 2000 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many federal benefit and loan programs have common data needs, such as the need for accurate information on the income and assets of applicants and recipients. Such information can be subject to error or abuse when applicants and recipients are the sole source of it. Past work has shown, for example, that some individuals misrepresent their financial condition by under- or overstating their income and assets when applying for programs or during subsequent determinations of eligibility. As a result, agencies can make payments or loan funds to individuals who are not entitled to them, or over- or underpay individuals who are entitled. These inaccuracies can be expensive-costing the government billions of dollars each year. Data sharing across government agencies has been an important and successful tool for identifying improper payments. The Social Security Administration (SSA), for example, identifies improper payments to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients in part by obtaining wage data from state agencies to verify self-reported earnings. Similarly, some state human services departments use data from various federal and state agencies to verify the income and assets of their applicants and recipients. Because improper payments are a continuing problem among benefit and loan programs, the General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to review whether expanded and improved data sharing among these programs could contribute to more accurate initial and continuing eligibility decisions. In response, GAO conducted two projects. The first was a study that focused primarily on the data-sharing efforts of three programs as case examples. The second project, designed to provide a broader, governmentwide perspective, involved presenting a 2-day symposium on data sharing among benefit and loan programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the importance of child support (CS), the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 requires that if a parent with CS obligations files for bankruptcy, a bankruptcy trustee must notify the custodial parent and state CS enforcement agency so that they may participate in the case. The act also required a study of the feasibility of matching bankruptcy records with CS records to assure that filers with CS obligations are identified. This report: (1) identified the percent of bankruptcy filers with obligations nationwide; (2) examined the potential for routine data matching to facilitate the identification of filers with CS obligations; and (3) studied the feasibility and cost of doing so. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
