This paper explains identity proofing, its impact on Medicaid access and equity, and federal guidance and business practices that support removing identity proofing as a barrier.
In 2024, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Digital Benefits Network led a workshop to explore key terms related to digital identity, and provide ecosystem-level context on how authentication and identity proofing may show up in the online benefits experience and impact clients. This resource links to the presentation slides.
