ABSTRACT:
Methods for registering individuals with government programs to eliminate fraud are described herein. The method includes registering a first person with a government entity having a governmental program and issuing an individual identification code (IIC) to the first person, entering the individual identification code (IIC) into an electronic retrieval system and obtaining first data on the first person at a first point in time. The first data can include first biometric data, a first personal identification code, a first electronic signature, and combinations thereof. The method further includes linking the first data to the individual identification code (IIC), and reading second data at a second point in time, wherein the second data can include second biometric data, a second personal identification code, a second electronic signature and combinations thereof, of a second person, and wherein the second point of time is later than the first point of time. The method further includes comparing the second data with the first data to form compared data, determining from the compared data whether the second person is the first person to obtain a verified identity, and making a first transmission of the verified identity to the government entity. The first transmission includes the individual identification code (IIC) and a first query for personal information on the first person. The method further includes making a second transmission from the government entity providing the information requested in the first query and making a third transmission providing updated personal information to the government entity.
