• ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINTING FOR GENERAL ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO by Jim Davis BACKGROUND The San Francisco Department of Social Services (DSS), at the urging of the Mayor's office, wants to begin electronically fingerprinting everyone who receives General Assistance (GA) benefits, as a condition of their receiving aid. ... DSS wants to adopt the Automated Fingerprint Image Reporting and Match (AFIRM) system, developed by Electronic Data Systems (EDS). ... Ostensibly, the system is intended to prevent a particular kind of fraud called "double-dipping," where someone receives aid under more than one name, or receives aid in more than county. ... Electronic fingerprinting is a technology that allows fingerprint images to be stored on a computer system.

(5) It should be noted from the statistics that only a minority of fingerprint matches are actual fraud attempts. ... (6) Mental illness (DSS estimates that one in seven GA recipients suffers from a mental health problem, and one in three suffers from drug or alcohol addiction) or just general confusion by the byzantine rules of the welfare system could be the cause of these attempts to apply for aid a second time. Finally, just because the AFIRM system is credited with picking out situations of duplicate aid, there is no way of knowing how many of the cases could have been picked out using existing computer matching and other identification systems already in place.
