Can Big Data Crack Fraud?

How many people in your state escape state taxes on RVs by registering them in Montana? How many jailed criminals receive unemployment benefits? How many people claim unemployment benefits while working? How many recipients trade low-income food credit for cash to buy liquor, household items and cigarettes? How many Medicaid recipients drive high-end BMWs?

If you are a state, city or county jurisdiction, you probably can’t answer those questions with any degree of accuracy. First, your budget is tight — and answers require lots of investigative legwork. Second, many government services are now provided online, so verifying identity and confirming self-reported information can be difficult.
