Description

Minnesotas social services face a staggering $1 billion fraud issue, with allegations of stolen meals, housing assistance, and autism therapy kickbacks. Fifty-nine convictions have been made, many linked to the Somali community. Critics claim state agencies were hesitant to challenge questionable claims due to political backlash. In response, Minnesota has established a fraud task force, improved information sharing, and adopted new technology to identify suspicious billing patterns.
