Across the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), state agencies are under pressure.

They must reduce improper payments, lower the Payment Error Rate (PER), and modernize eligibility operations. This challenge is compounded by rising caseloads and staffing constraints, impacting their ability to serve low income families effectively. One of the largest contributors to improper payments is dual participation.

This issue costs states hundreds of millions annually in Medicaid, CHIP, and SNAP benefits alone—and billions across all public assistance programs. With legislation like H.R. 1 lowering the federal match for administrative costs from 50% to 25% and tying cost-sharing directly to PER, it has become one of the top priorities for states to prevent improper payments before benefits are issued.

The Dual Participation Challenge

Dual participation occurs when individuals or households receive benefits in multiple programs or states at the same time. This can happen due to:

  • Moves without case closures
  • Parents in different states receiving benefits for the same child
  • Identity theft
  • Unconnected program systems and inconsistent verification standards

Key constraints for agencies include limited cross-state visibility, weak identity linkage, inconsistent residency checks, and siloed program workflows. These challenges affect the integrity of all food assistance programs overseen by the USDA and the Department of Agriculture.

Findings from the 4th Annual LexisNexis® Risk Solutions True Cost of Fraud™ Study for SNAP and Integrated Eligibility Systems (IES) highlight the problem:

  • 23% of SNAP eligibility fraud is tied to dual participation.
  • 48% of dual participation fraud is intentional.
  • Identity and residency data are the hardest for states to access.
  • Data inconsistencies significantly raise the Payment Error Rate.

Introducing LexisNexis® AmplifyID™ Program Participation Analyzer

AmplifyID™ PPA is a secure, real-time data exchange that prevents improper payments. It delivers cross-state, cross-program identity intelligence before eligibility approval and initial enrollment.

Daily updates deliver near-instant dual participation alerts, replacing slow quarterly SSN matches and providing a more proactive approach to benefit management.

99% proprietary linking precision. It connects identity data beyond just a social security number (SSN), including:

o Name/address variations
o Historical and relational linkages
o Behavioral signals and multi-program records

This robust verification eliminates false positives and sharply increases detection accuracy for all recipients.

PPA identifies intrastate, interstate, and cross-program duplicates (SNAP + Medicaid + TANF + WIC), residency conflicts, and simultaneous multi-jurisdiction activity. This is crucial for managing cases involving able-bodied adults who may be subject to specific rules like SNAP work requirements.

Multi-state analyses show:

o Millions in immediate potential savings
o 60%+ of matches undetectable by SSN-only methods
o 85% high-confidence matches, reducing manual workload

Each additional state strengthens network intelligence, accuracy, and ROI, creating a more powerful system for all participants.

How PPA Supports Program Modernization

As states implement new regulatory and modernization initiatives, including those aligned with the One Beautiful Bill Act, AmplifyID™ PPA supports agencies by helping them:

  • Lower PER ahead of FY 2028.
  • Reduce identity- and residency-driven errors.
  • Strengthen audit documentation with verifiable identity resolution.
  • Automatically check cross-state participation.
  • Prevent improper payments before issuance.
  • Improve reporting and modernize eligibility workflows, even accounting for special circumstances like waivers or periods of high unemployment.

With AmplifyID™ PPA, agencies can ensure that SNAP benefits and other forms of assistance reach those who are truly eligible—no matter where applicants move, apply, or re-enroll.
