From: Todd Feathers
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All contracts between the department and ID.me for identity verification services.
2) All training material provided by ID.me to the department regarding its identity verification services. This should include user manuals, webinars, slide presentations, and where possible, a schedule of the training sessions offered by ID.me since Jan. 1, 2020.
3) Yearly data reflecting the number of unemployment assistance claims the department deemed fraudulent from Jan 1. 2018 until the date this request is processed.
4) Yearly data reflecting the number of appeals the department has received for alleged improper denials of unemployment assistance since Jan. 1, 2018. If possible, I also ask that you provide data reflecting how many of those appeals were substantiated/successful.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employ involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of it, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
