Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the accuracy of cash assistance eligibility in Massachusetts by requiring more thorough verification of applicants’ Social Security numbers. Currently, the process may not be robust enough to prevent fraudulent claims. The legislation seeks to strengthen existing verification procedures to better protect state and federal funds and ensure benefits are received by those who are truly eligible. It builds upon previous efforts to enhance eligibility verification.
