Dr. RollergatorHOST
Trump's DOE said it introduced online identity verification requirements that Kent claimed would stop ghost students from ever receiving funds.
Dr. RollergatorHOST
Relying on automated systems to flag behaviors and reject fraudulent FAFSA applications, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, vice chair of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, insisted that fraud could be easily stopped without allocating staff and resources overly burdening the U.S. government.
Dr. RollergatorHOST
Quote, the computers help us find it and we keep the money in the agency, Ferguson said.
Dr. RollergatorHOST
The automated system isn't perfect, however, and advocates have warned that false flags burden schools, meaning students' access to aid could be delayed as administrators work through the added identity verification process.
