A widespread fraud scandal in Minnesota involves the theft of over $1 billion in federal
and state social service funds, including money for housing and healthcare assistance programs.
The majority of the 87 people charged in the various schemes are of Somali descent, leading
to the schemes often being publicly referred to as the “Somali assisted living fraud”.
The Somali fraud is not a single scheme but a network of Somali thievery that exploited Minnesota’s robust social safety net programs.
Key elements include Diverse Schemes:
<><>Somali frauds involved stealing from multiple programs,
<><>the largest one known as “Feeding Our Future” (a child meal program during the pandemic),
<><>as well as Somali thievery related to housing assistance, behavioral health, and autism services.
<><>thieving Somalis submitting fraudulent invoices and claims for services
<><>Somali thieves outright lied using “ghost billing” to steal
<><>and falsely certifying Somali individuals as eligible for care.
Federal prosecutors have charged 87 individuals in the past three years, with 61 already convicted. The total amount stolen is estimated to be over a billion dollars, much of which Somali thieves spent on luxury goods like cars and international travel, and real estate here and abroad.
Prosecutors have also stated the primary motive appeared to be Somalis personal enrichment.
The Somali thieving scandal has generated significant political controversy in Minnesota and nationally. Critics of the state government claim officials were slow to act on red flags for fear of being accused of “racism” which the thieves used as a calculated MO to mitigate the thievery.
The scandal has been a focus of the Trump administration, which has ramped up investigations targeting the community. The story continues to develop, with ongoing federal investigations and new charges expected.
