Preventing Duplicate Payments: New systems to detect and block multiple applications from the same person or entity using identical information (e.g., bank account, email address).
Additional Verification: Requirement for two employees to approve each loan and advance application, and contacting applicants submitting multiple requests from the same IP or email addresses.
ID Number Checks: Verification that Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) were registered before February 15, 2020, and that applicants are not on the Department of the Treasury's Do Not Pay List.
