that's checking applications. that's working to turn to look at more data sources as gao recommended. i would caution against expanding the number of kids that get verified because many families don't respond to to to the request individual in the benefits whether or not they're eligible that data could be good with pinpointing application. application. >> i'm a little worried about the privacy issue. >> yes. >> more than a little wordy. let me say i have a concern about holding states accountable to a different standard, i.e. three years and then we just got a report from the inspector general from the food and nutrition service indicating, and i think my figures are accurate, going from the study which is just out errors 1.9 billion school lunch, errors 770 million school breakfast. we are not the pentagon for that matter any other agency, but that's a considerable amount of money. i don't see the one of you have had access to the information if you'd like to make a comment on that, but it should be a concern to

there are two seats and four applicants. >> and okay. so we have two seats four applicants for the sunshine task force. and why don't we take the applicants in the order that they are on the list and we will start with mr. bruce wolfe. and i see that every applicant has also applied for each seat. so one will end next year and one will end the year after and so we will work that out when we make our decisions welcome. >> thank you. mr. chair. and members and supervisors how are you doing? >> my name is bruce wolfe and i am applying to the appointment for the sunshine ordinance task force and as you know, you know who i am and you know my history and you made and i want to alleviate any concerns about the letters of support and i did not ask anybody to come and support me today. and it is not that i don't carry favor with anybody, i just felt that at this point that they have been here so many times that there is a lot of support for me to be here. but just to be here on my own merits and i feel that my work in the open government communi

it's families filling out applications and schools running programs. it's states when they're administering them. so that kind of day in and day out work is most important in the program. >> i would second that and also add it's important to as a former president once famously stated it's important to not only trust but verify. i would add to that and say it's important to trust and verify in a meaningful manner. we found through our work that the verification process could be a strength in several important ways and it's -- that will serve the reduced improper payments rate and help drive that number down although on the accounting side of the equation, over $700 million the improper payments estimate is due to accounting errors. that's an area that could be addressed as well through technology and better training. there's some important ways that could drive that number down to enhance the operations of the program. >> so do you believe that more state and or local input on establishing eligible requirements could be helpful in cutting down on some o

when you fill out job applications, there it is. box that asks - have you ever been found guilty of a crime. tell the truth, and the odds are pretty good you won't get the job. ex-inmates say it would help them restart their lives and stay out of gaol if companies would just bend the box. it's tonight's "inside story". >>> welcome to "inside story". i'm ray suarez. for a long time we know those that spend time behind bars are likely to get in trouble again. advocates ask if we are serious about lowing recidivism rates, should we force people to disclose history at the front door of getting work. crime rates are lower, inmate populations huge creating conditions for a most to ban the box. tonya moseley reports from seattle. >> reporter: here is a peak inside one of the washington state's largest turn key manufacturers in aerospace. take a deeper look past the assembly lines of sheet metal and you'll find former convict working side by side with original employees. >> there is a place for justice, we need a place for redemption >>> as

another application -- another applicant reported they were enrolled in snap, therefore they were automatically eligible, yet when we contacted the state officials they said this individual was not enrolled in the snap program. so we found some example -- again, you know, these examples are not generalizeable to the entire population, but we found enough examples suggested that usda needed to take another look at that. so the good news is usda agreed with all of our report recommendations and we think the collective impact of all the recommendations when implemented will help strengthen the verification and oversight process to again to ensure only those truly deserving of the benefits receive them. chairman roberts other members of the committee, this concludes my prepared remarks and i look forward to any questions you may have. >> mr. lord, thank you very kindly. our second witness ms. zoe neuberger, ms. newburgher joins us from the center on budget and policy priorities where she is a senior policy analyst. she works on the school meal programs and wic and has been with the center since 200

reviews of questionable applications. and that one area there is broad agreement that they need to do a better job looking at outcome measures. that is verification related >> sure. quite a lot of research on the positive benefits of these programs, in particular children who eat breakfast at school have been shown to have fewer academic issues such as absence, tardiness, and better performance at school a clear area where there is a strong tie between participation and the educational outcomes that we would like to see. >> one question i do not know if it is anecdotal but you hear the stories let's just say a vegetable that for whatever reason kids don't like it. they are concerned that they are satisfying the letter of the regulation, but a lot of it goes into the trash do we have any data to get that beyond anecdotal? make sure that the young person's belly is full and better using the things there putting on their plate? >> we have some programs. >> i just don't know if i will be here. >> there is research on the exte

employees love the applications but do it in a way which is much more responsible. understand what kind of security needs put in place. i'll give you a simple example. typewriters to pcs, you can make an argument that pcs are much more wonderful, stay on the typewriter. from the mobile i think that's not the point or stopped people from using the most productive applications. but understanding what kind of threats are out there. i think it's a responsibility of the executive teams of the companies and the ceos of the companies to put the right frameworks in place. there are technologies out there, especially with machines. >> rehan, your company is located in san jose at a time that most are in san francisco. san francisco does a great job -- it's only the last four or five years that san francisco is really attracted the top talent. how are you keeping top talent in the south bay at a time in which it seems like the youngest and brightest going to san francisco? >> i think we're lucky to have in our company for some of the brightest minds. i think certainly a lot o
