State of the Union: Time to Finish the Job on Digital Identity
Blog post from Socure
President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union call to combat identity theft and fraud is presented as an opportunity for government agencies to replace the “pay and chase” model of recovering improper payments with proactive, data-driven digital identity verification. The passage argues that public-benefits systems face extensive threats from cybercriminals, fraudsters, and nation-state actors while legitimate applicants often encounter cumbersome verification processes and unequal access. It identifies fraud prevention, equity, and scalability as essential requirements for a modern system, advocating automated machine-learning tools that draw on multiple data sources and identity-risk intelligence rather than credit-based or legacy verification methods. Such systems, the author contends, could reduce improper payments, improve approval rates for underserved groups, and handle the high transaction volumes of agencies such as the IRS and unemployment programs, while supporting a coordinated government-wide response to fraud.
