US Think Tank Pushes Biometric ID Verification for Welfare Applicants

A Florida-based policy group is urging Congress to mandate identity verification — potentially including biometric methods — before Americans can access Medicaid or SNAP food benefits, citing billions in improper payments linked to duplicate and stolen identities. This push toward a centralised, digitally-verified identity system for accessing basic necessities reflects a broader global trend toward economic participation being gatekept by verified identity credentials. Scripture warns of a coming system in which no one may buy or sell without identification tied to allegiance — a framework Revelation 13 describes in striking detail.
