The Challenge
When COVID-19 created widespread economic and social disruption, the U.S. federal government introduced the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This included the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program. The program delivered approximately $350 billion to state, territorial, and tribal governments. It was an effort to support response and recovery from the public health emergency.
For public agencies, the challenge was not only deciding how relief funding should be allocated, but also ensuring that funds reached eligible people, businesses, and organizations. Fraud prevention for ARPA programs has always been a critical priority, but even more so once jurisdictions opened applications quickly. They needed to remain accountable for the responsible use of public resources. Recipients of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds were subject to compliance and reporting requirements designed to support transparency, responsibility, and equity in the use of public resources.
Our clients needed to move quickly with applications needing grant verification. However, speed should not come at the expense of accountability. ComplyCube helped us strengthen identity verification across ARPA programs while keeping the application process efficient for real applicants.
Many jurisdictions needed support operating assistance programs for individuals, nonprofits, and businesses affected by economic uncertainty. These public assistance programs were built to move fast, helping constituents facing financial pressure, job loss, and operational disruption.
iParametrics helped government clients administer these ARPA programs. However, once applications opened, a glaring issue emerged. How could iParametrics verify that funds were going to the right people, businesses, and organizations? Additionally, they did not want to create unnecessary friction for legitimate applicants.
The team needed a reliable grant application verification software solution that could reduce risk. The goal was to lower fraudulent, duplicate, ineligible, or unverifiable applications while supporting identity verification for ARPA programs.
The Solution
While looking for a scalable way to verify applicants, iParametrics identified ComplyCube as a strong fit. They needed a product that could support public assistance workflows across multiple jurisdictions and program types. ComplyCube stood out for fraud prevention for ARPA programs for three big reasons, scalability, flexibility, and ease of use.
Program volumes changed quickly. Some months, iParametrics supported multiple assistance programs at once, with application demand rising or falling depending on funding windows, public awareness, and jurisdictional needs.
ComplyCube gave iParametrics the ability to start with a simple setup, scale as needs evolved, and adapt its plan over time. That flexibility made the platform a practical fit for assistance programs where application volumes could change quickly, but verification standards still needed to remain consistent.
Ease of adoption was equally important. The platform was intuitive enough for team members to become familiar with it quickly, helping iParametrics add applicant verification into operational workflows without lengthy training or technical complexity.
For a U.S.-based company working with government clients, data handling was another important consideration. iParametrics had to be careful about how applicant data was managed and where it was stored. ComplyCube provided a secure identity verification solution that complies with NIST standards and ISO 27001. This gave the team confidence to support sensitive public assistance programs without worrying about fraud or risk.
