Timely and Accurate Benefits Act

Sponsor: William R. Timmons IV (R-SC)

What it does

• Requires states to procure and use an Enhanced Income Verification Platform by one year after enactment to remain eligible for Federal funds for any income-based benefit program.
• Directs the platform to incorporate automated, real-time data matching and analytics to identify potential unreported income, underreported income, and indicators of ineligibility or improper payments.
• Permits the platform to access applicant-permissioned deposit account transactional data to verify sources of income not captured in existing payroll, new-hire, or tax data sources.
• Requires the platform to identify and consolidate overlapping data to prevent double-counting of financial records.
