"Another red flag: Minnesota’s Medicaid spending on autism services. It surged from about $1 million in 2017 to $343 million in 2024 – without meaningful oversight."
"Minnesota state Rep. Kristin Robbins has heard from numerous whistleblowers. She heads up the Legislature’s main fraud-prevention committee.
Robbins says after state audits in 2019 exposed millions in childcare fraud that lack of action kept the system vulnerable to abuse.
“So this big explosive report came out, and rather than saying, ‘OK, go to town, go do all these criminal investigations,’ the criminal investigation unit was shut down, and they were told, ‘No, we're not doing criminal investigations in childcare anymore. You can look at overpayments and then any overpayments you find can get referred to an overpayments committee, and we'll decide if we'll seek reimbursement, but they were no longer pursuing criminal investigation or charges on childcare fraud,” Robbins says."
“There was a group of people involved from the Somali community who created a group called the Minnesota Minority Childcare Association," she told "Full Measure."
“And that group would try to lobby against changes that would tighten the internal controls. So anytime the legislature did come forward with a proposal to say, ‘Oh, well, we should tighten this up or tighten that up,’ this Minority Childcare Association would say, ‘No, we shouldn't do that. That will hurt our families. That's, you know, not gonna work.’ And many of those people who were involved in the Minnesota Minority Childcare Association then later, became defendants and charged and convicted in the Feeding Our Future Scandal. So the childcare led to the Feeding Our Future Scandal."
The “Feeding Our Future scandal” is the nation’s biggest known COVID fraud scheme. Prosecutors say Minnesota nonprofits, vastly run by Somali-Americans or immigrants, “falsely claimed to have served 91 million meals, for which they fraudulently received nearly $250 million in federal funds. That money did not go to feed kids. Instead, it was used to fund their lavish lifestyles.”
