In this The Daily Signal article, Fred Lucas reports on a Foundation for Government Accountability study revealing widespread identity fraud in Medicaid and food stamps, including use of stolen SSNs and dead people’s identities to collect billions.
- Fraudsters exploited lack of identity verification, with one SSN tied to 15 employers across 14 states in three months.
- Food stamp programs showed over 1 million instances of duplicate enrollment, deceased individuals, dummy SSNs, and no SSN, costing over $2.2 billion.
- Medicaid improper payments approach $1 trillion annually, with one in five dollars spent improperly.
- States like Arkansas and New Jersey found tens of thousands of high-risk identities in their rolls.
- Recommendations include federal identity verification, regular checks against death records, and holding states accountable.
- The One Big Beautiful Bill Act paused some Biden-era rules and requires SSN checks to combat fraud.
