JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS. The parties to this Agreement have determined that this computer matching program is justified because it is the most efficient and expeditious means of obtaining and processing the information needed by CA-DSS to verify the immigration status of Benefit Applicants for, and recipients of, TANF and SNAP. It is expected that this matching program will enable CA-DSS to rapidly confirm the eligibility of Benefit Applicants with proper immigration status, identify those Benefit Applicants who require further checks to confirm proper eligibility status, administer sponsor deeming and agency reimbursement requirements, and to identify and prevent improper payments to those Benefit Applicants whose immigration status does not entitle them to receive TANF and SNAP administered by CA-DSS. Available alternatives to the use of this computer matching program for verifying immigration status would impose a much greater administrative and processing burden, would result in higher annual administrative costs, and would protract the average case response time. The anticipated savings from the use of the SAVE Program, including administrative costs and savings derived by eliminating fraudulent benefit payments, is $20,071,766 based on historical savings. Using a computer matching program, CA-DSS can process, in an extremely expeditious manner, a higher volume of queries with reduced overall labor demands. Additionally, because of the rapid response capability provided by this computer matching program, there will be a greater deterrent effect on applicants seeking to fraudulently receive entitlement benefits administered by CA-DSS as compared to a much slower mail- in procedure. One of the major objectives of IRCA, to reduce incentives for undocumented entry and presence in the United States, is furthered by this matching program’s deterrent effect. Finally, this system also supports efforts to curb waste, fraud, and abuse within federally-funded entitlement programs.
