While idiots fight tooth and nail to prevent voters from having to show ID to vote, unemployment offices are now requiring people who file for unemployment to provide ID. This, it is said, stanches the flow of fraudulent claims. The Epoch Times has more:
Pennsylvania now requires individuals filing for unemployment compensation to prove their identity before receiving payments.
In an effort to prevent fraudulent claims [that] have plagued the online unemployment system, Pennsylvania has hired ID.me, a McLean, Virginia-based company, to authenticate users.
Since 2020, some 27 states have hired ID.me for unemployment verification, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.
“We are also now under contract with an additional two states. ID.me Spokesman Nicholas Michael told The Epoch Times. “Our federal partners include the Department of Veterans Affairs and Social Security Administration.”
Unemployment applicants in these states must submit to a new, more invasive level of vetting to receive payments.
ID.me’s [online-authentication] process begins with a request for permission to use details from the user’s credit profile and other public sources. Soon after that, the system requires users to consent to ID.me collecting their Social Security number and biometric data. The user cannot continue the process or receive unemployment without consenting.
Trivia: McLean, Virginia, is where all the rich people live.
