Feds investigate multiple adult daycare centers across NYC, officials say
Officials say more than 100 providers were targeted in a months-long crackdown on suspected Medicaid billing fraud.
- Federal agents executed search warrants across Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island on Tuesday, Oct 20, 2026, targeting social adult day care programs suspected of Medicaid fraud. The FBI confirmed the operations connect to ongoing federal investigations.
- Governor Kathy Hochul described the operation as a "coordinated crackdown" on suspected fraud, noting the New York State Department of Health and Office of Medicaid Inspector General partnered with federal agencies for this months-long investigation.
- Federal agents removed boxes and computers from Hanmaum Daycare in Flushing and a storefront on Eighth Avenue in Borough Park, where at least eight law enforcement personnel wearing Homeland Security Investigations jackets were observed.
- "We are targeting providers who we believe engaged in illegal activity," Hochul said, citing money laundering and kickbacks. Her administration claims to have saved over $15 billion in Medicaid funds since 2021.
- Authorities have not publicly disclosed whether arrests were made or charges filed, as the investigation remains active. Officials noted limits exist on what can be shared while the federal probe continues.
