Directing the secretary for children and families to review and compare data for public assistance program eligibility.

Summary

The bill would have the secretary for children and families set up data‑matching agreements with state agencies and review information from state and federal sources to confirm that households receiving food assistance still meet eligibility rules. It would require regular checks of employment, income, residency, incarceration, lottery winnings and other factors, and would publish aggregate, non‑personal data on investigations and fraud. The measure aimed to improve program integrity but died in a House committee.
