TYSONS CORNER, VA, May 11, 2020 — Haywood Talcove, CEO, Government, LexisNexis Risk Solutions and LexisNexis Special Services, said that government-industry collaboration has the potential to safeguard the distribution of funds from a $2T federal stimulus package to U.S. businesses and families during the COVID-19 crisis, GovCon Wire reported April 27.
He wrote in a FedScoop article published April 24 that the General Services Administration's move to engage companies in securing Login.gov sets an example of how the government can prevent scammers from targeting Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funds that are allocated to individuals and small businesses.
"Login.Gov is not currently being used to distribute CARES Act relief funds, but it is an example of the potential of public-private partnerships," noted Talcove, a 2020 Wash100 winner.
He added that identity authetication platforms being used by commercial entities can serve as a key to protecting coronavirus-related stimulus payments.
