99. A proper system must have a small percentage of Fraud

The question should be not is there Fraud, but is the level of Fraud appropriate for a properly working system.

As you tighten or relax controls/enforcement you affect not only the number of Fraud recipients but also the number of Deserving recipients. So if the system add's 100 new recipients 1 might be fraudulent and 99 are deserving. Continuing to the point where 25 out of every 100 new recipients is fraudulent is too high, but eliminating 999 deserving recipients to remove 1 fraud case is too extreme as well. We need to find a balance where most of the money in the program ends up in the hands of deserving people, and that they are not unduly burdened trying to demonstrate their honest need, while making the Fraud level as low as practical. Not easy but nothing worthwhile ever is.
