The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Attorney General Minnesota $12.696760 million on October 1, 2025, under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program (CFDA 93.775). The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit within the Attorney General's office investigates and prosecutes Medicaid provider fraud and patient abuse or neglect in health facilities, board and care facilities, and non-institutional settings involving Medicaid beneficiaries. The award funds work performed in Minnesota and covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. As a formula grant, funds are distributed quarterly in four installments beginning October 1, with subsequent distributions on January 1, April 1, and July 1. The State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program requires recipient states to maintain a single identifiable governmental entity certified by the Secretary and subject to annual recertification by the Office of Inspector General. Grant recipients must submit amended applications if initially denied and must re-certify 60 days before each certification period ends. The Attorney General's office retains all records for three years in accordance with 2 CFR 200.334.
