US EditionVance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns
The Trump administration withholds $259 million pending Minnesota's corrective plan amid allegations of extensive Medicaid fraud involving unsupported claims and providers, officials said.
- Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the administration would withhold $259 million in Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, notifying Gov. Tim Walz.
- Earlier prosecutions and probes, including DOJ actions, revealed fraud tied to Somali-run day care centers in Minneapolis and the Feeding Our Future nonprofit's $250 million pandemic fraud.
- CMS said as part of the move that Minnesota has 60 days to respond to concerns involving $244 million in unsupported claims and about $15 million tied to immigration-status issues, warning of up to $1 billion in deferred funds next year.
- State officials warned that the pause could be political retribution, and cuts may exceed $2 billion annually, impacting Minnesota's health-care providers and low-income residents, while the governor called it devastating.
- Vance said the broader effort will involve the U.S. Department of Justice and Treasury Department, and his office recently helped launch the Division of National Fraud Enforcement, while a nationwide Medicare enrollment freeze lasts six months.
