WOW. Minnesota's state-run Housing Stabilization Services program has been SHUT DOWN due to the massive amount of fraud that left the program BANKRUPT. "It was estimated in 2020 that it would cost only about $2.5 million a year to fund this program, but it ended up costing almost 50 times that much. Over $104 MILLION by 2024 due to fraud." "Because of all the fraud, Minnesota had to shut the program down in 2025." Think about how many homeless veterans could've used this program to have a roof over their heads.

Investigation finds Tim Walz’ Minnesota knew about fraud taking place and still let $10s of million of dollars be approved to programs that falsified records and approved programs like finding dead people housing It’s all money laundering “Bribes, falsified records and taxpayers charged to help dead people find housing. Those are just some of the fraud allegations we've learned the Minnesota Department of Human Services knew about for more than a year as tens of millions of tax dollars flowed out the door.” “Fancy cars, fly by night companies. You're billing thousands of dollars for work that's not being done. Fake meetings. They just billed us for nothing. Forged names.” “We've now discovered that all these allegations exposed in our investigation were not new news to the state agency that was supposed to be the watchdog. The Department of Human Services, DHS, had been for more than the year warned repeatedly.” Again, so much money laundering

🚨 JUST IN: Fraud Czar JD Vance just dropped a BOMBSHELL saying Nick Shirley has been 100% VINDICATED, $90M in fraud has been raided in Minnesota, and more is coming "In one of the most horrifying cases charged today, a recipient who needed 24-hour care was supposed to be receiving exactly that through a Minnesota Medicaid benefit program. But he received nothing...he was found dead." "One day before this man died, the fraudster in question had tried to bill for the non-existent services, the services that if they had been provided, this man might actually be with us today!" "I was shocked when I watched Nick shirley's bombshell investigation of migrant fraud in Minnesota, which called attention to the now infamous Quality Learing Center." "This morning, the ringleader of the $250 million Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme in Minnesota was sentenced in federal court to over 40 years in prison, bringing justice to the countless schoolchildren and families she had scammed. And on top of that, today, federal law enforcement launched a massive raid in Minneapolis!" "Across the city, agents have arrested 15 people for suspected fraud that amounted to $90 million." "In 2018, Minnesota tried to provide housing services for the homeless. They estimated that the cost of the program would be $2.5 million a year. By 2024, the program had exploded to $104 million annually, and almost all of that, almost all of it, was because of fraud." "As a result, the state had to shut down the program and can no longer provide those services to Americans in need!" "The victims in the cases announced by DOJ today also include disabled Americans who rely on community support to live full, independent lives." "If you're committing fraud, our task force will find you. We'll come after you, and we will not rest until justice is served. Don't defraud the American taxpayer."

🚨WATCH: Assistant U.S. AG Colin McDonald says the fraud charges announced today "include the highest loss amount ever charged in a Medicaid case in Minnesota." "One patient was supposed to be receiving 24-hour care through this program, but he was actually being serviced by a fraudster and received no services. This patient was later found dead. "Meanwhile, the architect of this fraud scheme was billing Medicaid as if he was providing care to this patient." Federal authorities announced new fraud charges against 15 individuals today. According to McDonald, the fraudsters targeted $90 million in taxpayer funds with their schemes. "We will not, full stop, tolerate this greed and deceit," he said. "This is just the beginning."

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Fraud Czar VP JD Vance just revealed the stunning betrayal "Hawaii Medicaid has received billions of dollars from federal taxpayers...guess how many convictions or indictments Hawaii had over the last few years in its Medicaid fraud program? ZERO." 🤯 "New York has had 9 indictments over the last year, 9 indictments. That's a $100 billion Medicaid program just in New York, and you've had nine indictments!" "Indiana, which has about a third of the population of the state of New York, has had more than four times as many indictments over the same period." "So do we think, does anybody here seriously think that the good people of Indiana are 12 times more likely to commit fraud than the people of New York? No, of course not. That's absurd!" "The leadership in New York are just not taking the fraud issue seriously. They're not using these anti-fraud control units to actually investigate and indict the fraud." States will now face DEFUNDING if they keep refusing to prosecute fraud.

5 more people charged in the Minnesota Fraud Scandal - Millions stolen in fraudulent Medicaid claims - $150,000 in cryptocurrency purchased - Extensive international travel, including to London, Sydney, Australia, Istanbul, Turkey, Dubai, and several locations in Saudi Arabia 2 of the defendants didn’t even live in Minnesota, they traveled there just to commit fraud “Fourth and fifth defendants are charged in United States v. Wadell Jefferson and Lester Brown, what's essentially fraud tourism. Mr. Jefferson and Brown were residents of Philadelphia who had no connection to Minnesota. Therefore they heard that Minnesota and its Housing Stabilization Services program was easy money. So they traveled to Minnesota, enrolled their companies, chosen Runner LLC, and Retzlaff Real Estate LLC in the Housing Stabilization Services Medicaid program here in Minnesota. They then returned to Philadelphia and began submitting fraudulent claims to Minnesota Medicaid here, through which they obtained more than $3.5 million in fraudulent Medicaid payments”

United States Attorney of Minnesota “Minnesota is drowning in fraud” - Taxpayer funded housing stabilization services companies are creating fake programs and making fake claims to bill for services that never happen - Over $100 million per year is stolen - Fraudulent health care companies set up - Fraudulent housing programs set up - Rehab patient fraud - Fake Medicare and Medicaid claims “Many of these companies operated out of dilapidated storefronts or run down office buildings that were full of other fraudulent health care companies” “They identified vulnerable individuals, Medicaid eligible individuals, many of whom were being released from drug or alcohol rehab facilities. They sign them up to receive housing stabilization services to help them, purportedly to help them find stable housing. Then they bill them for services that they did not, or they build Medicaid for services they did not actually provide. Despite the hundreds of millions of dollars in payments that have gone out from the state of Minnesota to housing stabilization services companies, many of these, most of these individuals did not receive stable housing they so desperately needed. The money was just simply stolen” “The level of fraud in these programs is staggering.” Now imagine this same fraud in every major city in every state. We can’t even comprehend the real amount of theft taking place against taxpayers

New York spends more per resident on Medicaid than any other state. But its AG has done less to root out Medicaid fraud than nearly any other state. Since 2019, NY AG Letitia James has received 57% more funding for her Medicaid Fraud Control, yet enforcement is down 82%. More money, fewer results. As a federal prosecutor, I prosecuted more fraud in my career than James’s entire unit did in a year. When I'm Attorney General, I'll take on Medicaid fraud, add 20 criminal fraud prosecutors to the Medicaid Fraud unit, ramp up civil enforcement with the False Claims Act, and aggressively go after the fraudsters. Let’s stop the scams and protect New Yorkers’ tax dollars.

🚨HOLY SH*T! Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program has FRAUD cases dating back 12 YEARS involving $100 MILLION !! WHISTLEBLOWER told 5 Eyewitness News back in October that Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program has experienced fraud cases dating back 12 years, involving as much as $100 million. After alerting authorities, the whistleblower says nothing was done, no one has been charged or arrested. Hundreds of daycare centers continue to operate in Minnesota, despite serious safety concerns. For example, Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis had 95 safety violations between 2019 and 2023, according to state DHS records, yet it received $7.8 million since 2019. Between 2021 and 2023, another daycare, Minnesota Child Care Center, had 36 serious safety violations but was still paid over $11 million in taxpayer money.

Today, CMS notified Governor Walz and the state of Minnesota that we are deferring an additional $91 million in federal Medicaid funding. This follows a pattern we can’t ignore. From the “Learing Center” scandal to the recent DOJ action involving childcare centers, Minnesota’s Medicaid program has shown serious vulnerabilities to fraud. These are not isolated breakdowns—they point to systemic issues that must be addressed. Here’s the reality: the federal government funds roughly half of Medicaid. That gives CMS both the authority and the responsibility to ensure those dollars are spent legally and appropriately. When they’re not, we act. Earlier this year, after auditing Q4 FY2025 billing, we deferred over $250 million. Of the $91 million deferred: • $76 million is tied to 14 service categories highly vulnerable to fraud • $14 million involves program integrity concerns, including payments for ineligible individuals We’re giving Governor Walz as much support as we can to turn this around. However, we cannot and will not pay bad bills so we’re asking for more information from Minnesota to verify these bills. CMS will continue using every tool available to protect Medicaid’s integrity—because this program must serve the most vulnerable Americans, while honoring the trust of taxpayers. More updates to come. As always, I’m grateful to Vice President JD Vance’s leadership as CMS plays its part in the whole-of-government effort to root out fraud.
