Helping tax agencies identify and recover
tax revenue
Helping entitlement agencies spend wisely
and reduce costs
Tax revenue agencies have experienced
more than $4 billion in U.S. federal fraud.1
Entitlement agencies spend more than
$100 billion annually in improper payments.2
TransUnion solutions can help reduce that
number with:
TransUnion can help with:
→→ Identity authentication to let good tax returns
through and halt bad returns
→→ Total income estimation to compare reported
to actual earnings
→→ Asset and property ownership data that can
reveal discrepancies
→→ Household relationships and person-tobusiness relationships to uncover possible fraud
→→ Credit-based solutions including thin and no
credit individuals
→→ Prioritizing collections to determine likelihood
of recovery so agencies can prioritize recovery
efforts and collect more lost revenue
→→ Identity authentication to verify that
attributes are accurate
→→ Identity and device authentication uniquely
integrated with intelligent queries to limit early
fraudulent attempts
→→ Total income estimation to validate eligibility
→→ Credit-based solutions and analytics to
determine applicant eligibility

Helping public safety agencies lower costs
and maximize effectiveness
TransUnion can help public safety agencies
maintain high standards under declining
budgets by:
→→ Locating hard-to-find individuals and
providing a complete profile of assets and
criminal history
→→ Using credit-based solutions to show a
person’s income levels from all sources,
revealing individuals living outside of normal
means, which could indicate suspicious activity
→→ Validating professional affiliations and attributes
Helping government organizations at
all levels manage multiple identities and
protect identity security
On average the cost of a data breach for
a single organization increased from $5.4
million in 2013 to $5.85 million in 2014.3
Here are two ways TransUnion helps
government agencies address potential
data breaches:
→→ Authenticating individuals, making it easier to
screen users and patrol multiple identities
→→ Providing a cost-conscious means to protect
civilian identities if or when a government
system is breached
