House Oversight Committee to investigate alleged fraud in Minnesota assistance programs.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold a hearing on alleged fraud in Minnesota public assistance programs, with testimony from state lawmakers and officials. More than 90 people are facing federal charges for “industrial-scale fraud” totaling up to $9 billion. Investigations have uncovered fraud in Medicaid programs, child care centers, and housing stabilization programs. The Department of Health and Human Services has frozen federal child care payments to Minnesota, leading to criticism from President Trump and accusations of politicization from Governor Walz.
