[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be interested in hearing folks speculate on the methodology the OIG might use to do this investigation. It seems to me that the Office of Tax and Revenue is the only city agency that would have independent records of a guardian/child relationship plus a claimed DC resident status where addresses could be verified/checked.

The data from the schools will necessarily only have one parent name, which could change year to year (depending on who fills out the residency forms). Connecting the parent/child name from the school to some other city records (using address?) seems really time/labor intensive. [/quote]

Hey, maybe they can finally snag the rich families who take the homestead exemption on their $$$ houses while simultaneously claiming, for school registration purposes, to actually live in a tiny apartment within the Deal (and sometimes Wilson) boundaries. Their assumption is, of course, that DC will never get together enough to cross-check. Maybe the jig is up....

That would be a totally different investigation of within DC boundary fraud - not residency fraud. DCPS or the DME could do that on its own (or ask for assistance from another agency)  tomorrow, if they chose to. [/quote]
