Fraud Detection and Mitigation Working Group

ATARC’s Fraud Detection and Mitigation Working Group will address the multifaceted challenges of fraud across government agencies and programs. 

Leveraging technology is critical to enhance detection capabilities of Identity-based (cyber), eligibility-based, and misuse-based fraud, particularly in high-risk areas including Medicare/Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, and student loans, which collectively face significant fraudulent activity amounting to billions annually. 

This group will focus on preventing fraud before it occurs through proactive strategies such as pre-pay approaches, identifying unusual behaviors that signal potential fraud, improving multi-agency data sharing, balancing security and with the user experience, and adhering to budget.

The working group will kick off in January 2025 with a round table- please check back in soon for more information!
