MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ID.me is a digital identity network that has dramatically expanded access to government services for disadvantaged Americans. Since it was founded, ID.me has pioneered alternative pathways for millions of people to verify their identity online, particularly for individuals who do not have credit history, are underbanked, are without a home, or live overseas and therefore have difficulty accessing government benefits. As has been reported, ID.me has nearly doubled the number of people able to create an IRS account, and made it easier for many Americans — including low income earners and minorities — to access their tax information.

Key Points: 
  • National security officials believe the fraud has gotten so large as to constitute economic warfare against the United States.
  • The Heritage Foundation also calculated $357 billion dollars in improper payments during testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
  • Blake Hall LinkedIn Post on House Oversight Committee Statement:
    Today, House Oversight released a statement that inaccurately accused me of using a claim about fraud to win unemployment identity verification contracts.
  • We welcome additional oversight on this important matter so Americans have a full accounting of what happened to pandemic benefit funds.
