For better or worse, the fights over Project match and its successors turn debates about fraud & welfare rights into a fight about potential privacy violations. The coverage in ACM here is quite instructive. (And still taught as privacy debates in tech classes)

I love the history of medicine and disability frame on this as a long history of "malingering." There is so much on the social construction of fraud, but for me the automated search for fraud really gets going nationally with Project Match under Carter's HEW (I can send you a chapter in progress)

I try to build on the work of @vtfeminist.bsky.social @libbyadler.bsky.social, Amy Zanoni, Premilla Nadasen, Salonee Bhaman, Janet Halley, Linda Gordon, Wendy Brown, and esp. @kmtani.bsky.social who have deepened my sense of what welfare rights and child support enforcement meant in practice.
