Reduce dual participation in public assistance programs across state lines
Multi-state contributory solutions help identify applicants already receiving benefits in another state.
The National Accuracy Clearinghouse (NAC) is a multi-state contributory solution designed to assist states with identification and prevention of dual participation within their public assistance programs, and expedite interstate coordination and investigation.
The NAC helps agencies maintain high program integrity standards and allows them to also improve application processing accuracy, efficiency and data integrity. The NAC was designed with the vision of expansion nationwide, and is currently expanding into other programs, including Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Woman Infant Children (WIC), Child and Family Services, and Child Nutrition.
