Beyond Annual Checks: Leveraging Technology for Continuous Program Integrity and Fraud Prevention

As states grapple with increasing demands for accountability, limited budgets, and rising complexity across public programs, a shift is underway from static annual eligibility checks to continuous, data-driven verification. This session explores how cutting-edge technologies and multi-agency strategies are transforming program integrity—from theory to implementation.

Panelists from CITIZ3N and Salo Health Strategies will share insights drawn from real-world experience deploying the Asset Verification System (AVS) and related eligibility solutions across multiple states. The discussion will showcase how integrated, cross-program tools enable real-time validation, reduce fraud, and support streamlined operations for Medicaid, SNAP, and other human service programs.

Chandler Parkinson, Client Executive for CITIZ3N’s Verify solution, will highlight how advanced data sourcing—from financial institutions and other third-party assets—can power more accurate, compliant, and timely eligibility decisions.

From Siloed Systems to 360-Degree Oversight:

Victor Sanchez, Vice President of Business Development at CITIZ3N, will discuss how states are embracing multi-agency models that bring together data across Medicaid, human services, and beyond—supporting more informed decision-making and collaborative program integrity strategies.

Policy and Market Perspectives:

Matt Salo, President of Salo Health Strategies, will offer a national lens on the legislative and regulatory trends accelerating adoption of continuous verification technologies, and the policy levers that can help state programs invest wisely in innovation.
