In December 2024, the Digital Benefits Network released an updated open dataset on authentication and identity proofing requirements across various public benefits applications to highlight best practices and areas for improvement in identity management.
This publication describes the research process and protocol used in the Digital Benefits Networks research project, "Digital Account Creation and Identity Proofing in Public Benefits Applications."
This page includes data and observations about account creation and identity proofing steps specifically for online applications that include MAGI Medicaid.
This introductory guide explains the core concepts of digital identity and how they apply to public benefits programs. This guide is the first part of a suite of voluntary resources from the BalanceID Project: Enabling Secure Access and Managing Risk in SNAP and Medicaid.
The Digital Benefits Network's second Digital Identity Community of Practice quarterly call centered exploring client support models in digital identity and an update on the Balance ID project.
