However, the success of these systems will depend on the integrity of the data used to obtain these cards and the accuracy and the reliability of the databases that support compliance efforts. This testimony discusses (1) the opportunities and the limitations of the technology that INS and SSA are considering, (2) a case study of a state that successfully used modern technology to introduce a one-stop eligibility management system, and (3) issues to consider in implementing cost-effective systems that meet program needs. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-99/html/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-99.htm GAO/T-AIMD-95-99 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-95-99 Testimony GAO/T-AIMD-95-99; Information Integrity: Using Technology to Determine Eligibility to Work and Receive Benefits; Computerized information systems Eligibility determinations Social security benefits Illegal aliens Fraud Interagency relations Immigration and naturalization law Telephone communications operations Data integrity
