LAKE TAHOE, Nev. - AussieJournal -- Phinge® Corporation, creator of the upcoming Netverse® hardware-verified technology platform, today detailed a proposal for federal agencies to dramatically reduce waste, fraud, and abuse (WFA) in programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and others.

The Netverse platform will be accessible exclusively through patented, proprietary hardware. The proposal highlights how the platform's core principle of "one verified user to one Netverse phone or device" could eliminate impersonation and fake recipients, moving beyond the reactive systems currently used by many government agencies.

This proactive approach will prevent WFA before it can occur, protecting taxpayer dollars and safeguarding the integrity of vital government services.

"The federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, according to GAO's government-wide estimates based on data from fiscal years 2018 through 2022. Additionally, federal improper payment estimates have totaled about $2.8 trillion since FY 2003—and the actual amount may be significantly higher because this is based on a small number of programs that report these numbers.

Using the above GAO low-end statistics and using the example of 100 million people in the U.S. receiving government benefits and accounting for a per phone price of $1,000.00 and adding 100% for program administration costs, the phones would be paid for in fraud reduction in less than 1 year.

This does not even factor in federal improper payment estimates. If improper payments were made through Netverse phones or devices to recipients, they have the ability to be timely clawed back.

Eliminating impersonation and fake recipients
A cornerstone of the Netverse platform will be its hardware-based verification system, which will permanently bind a user's verified identity to their individual Netverse phone or device. This will create a verifiable, tamper-resistant link between an individual and their access to services

• Permanent identity binding: Unlike software-based identity checks that can be spoofed or bypassed, Netverse's hardware-level verification will ensure that a recipient of government benefits is a real, unique individual. The principle of "one user, one phone" would make it impossible for fraudsters to create multiple fake accounts to claim benefits.
• Proactive identity protection: The current systems used by government agencies primarily monitor for fraudulent activity after a user's data has been compromised. In contrast, the Netverse approach will prevent identity fraud from the outset by requiring a verified, hardware-bound identity for all participants. This will stop fraudsters from using stolen Social Security numbers or other personal data to claim benefits illegally.
• Secure benefit delivery: With each recipient tied to a single, verified Netverse hardware device, benefit payments can be routed securely and transparently. The system would eliminate the possibility of payments being diverted to fake or fraudulent accounts, as every financial transaction would originate from a verified user on their dedicated Netverse hardware.
• Secure and transparent data access: By replacing fragmented, app-based systems with a unified, verified ecosystem, Netverse will provide a secure and reliable platform for government agencies to interact with beneficiaries. Every interaction is tied to a verified identity, creating a clear audit trail and significantly reducing opportunities for malfeasance.

Government agencies could purchase from Phinge and implement a plan where all recipients of government benefits could receive an authorized Phinge device for free or at a reduced cost.

If they did this, phone recipients could reap additional benefits through their interactions with Netverse in the form of same-as-cash rewards to spend dollar-for-dollar throughout Netverse and all its businesses and third-party platforms. This would include using their earned rewards to pay for their internet access and monthly phone bills through Phinge.

In addition, 1% of all gross dollars that would be spent through these phones or devices throughout Netverse would be donated by Phinge to local charities selected by users.

Phinge including its Netverse solution is designed to not only align with existing government regulations regarding data privacy, but will go above and beyond, by allowing its users to own and control their own data. This will provide a secure and powerful new tool for user privacy while protecting taxpayer dollars.
