Description

State agencies face growing pressure to prevent fraud, reduce improper payments and strengthen program integrity while often operating with limited resources and fragmented data. Do Not Pay (DNP) offers a powerful, federally managed capability that helps governments verify eligibility, detect risk and prevent improper payments through secure data matching. This panel will introduce state leaders to DNP and explore how states can access, use and benefit from this capability.


Key Takeaways

• How states can use DNP as part of a comprehensive fraud and improper payment prevention strategy.
• What types of data are available in DNP and how this data can support better program integrity.
• Best practices and tools available to help states integrate DNP into existing oversight and control frameworks

Learning Objectives

Understand what DNP is and how it supports fraud prevention and improper payment reduction for state programs. Explore the types of data available, practical use cases across state programs and lessons learned from states actively using DNP today. Gain a clearer understanding of how DNP can complement existing state controls and support more effective fraud prevention and payment oversight. Recognize practical use cases where states can leverage DNP to strengthen program integrity.
