Autism claims rose from $3 million to $400 million.
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
The pattern in both Somali meals for children and autism treatment for children is similar.
In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million and then up to $197 million in 2021.
EIDBI autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota similarly shot up from $3 million in 2018 to $54 million in 2019, $77 million in 2020, $183 million in 2021, $279 million in 2022, $399 million in 2023, and nearing $400 million most of the way through 2024 for a total of over $1.4 billion.
How did autism claims rise from $3 million to $400 million a year in just 4 years?

Somali community groups set up their own autism treatment centers to provide diverse “culturally appropriate programming” and Somali kids were seven times more likely to receive autism treatment than other children. Whistleblowers at the Minnesota Department of Human Services report that 1 in 5 autism centers in the state are now under investigation.
In the 85 investigations, of the 5 closed cases last year, all of them involved Somalis including apparently Sharmarke Issa, the former chair of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority who pleaded guilty over his involvement in the Feeding Our Future fraud.
Under Gov. Tim Walz, it’s become routine for welfare programs to shoot up from the millions to the hundreds of millions. “Well, I think you’re always accountable for when things happen, but I think the accountability piece that we’re going to have to try and understand,” Walz replied, when asked about Minnesota’s spiraling welfare fraud crisis. “The question is, in state government, our job is to carry out the programs to try and get the resources to the people who need them.”
A vision of fraud under a Walz administration, as presented by Daniel Greenfield. Wholesale theft by his patrons. And no one get fired by the state.

Deport the lot
Please follow the link to finish the article. This is more fraud that we as a nation dodged.
Without Biden and the auto pen the left needs to get creative. Fear, Children and Health is their script.
And how much went to that Somali Fraud Omar?..............
Let’s see if Walz had his beak in the ‘autism’ trough.
Can we please deport all these people? Why the hell are we importing a class of criminal aliens?
The West built cultures, institutions, and systems based on trust and moral codes of its peoples, and now it is importing peoples who don’t relate to the West and don’t share its values, who formed nations built on corruption, bribery, and what you don’t take today won’t be available tomorrow, and who naturally see these countries of the West as innocent, virginal societies of easy pickings in every aspect of life.
The sheer scale of welfare fraud under the Walz administration is so severe that hundreds of millions of dollars can easily vanish across the board without anyone even noticing because it’s no longer an aberration.: Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) was budgeted at $2.6 million when it was launched in 2020 but by 2024, was expected to hit $120 million.
Thx for the post.
Rep. Omar says Somalia is much cleaner and more democratic than America. So what’s the problem with going back?
Somalis are some of the worlds worst schemers. Same people who brought us the East African pirates.
The Kenyans next door neighbors to Somalia view the Somalians as a criminal people. They have a huge crime problem with them.
I am shocked that they would do this.
Shocked!
The autism diagnosis may actually be plausible, because so many of them suffered from chronic malnutrition in Somalia. That type of brain damage is not really reversible.
Don’t these people get any medical examinations when they immigrate? When my ancestors got off of the boat, if you coughed during the interview, you went back on the boat.
Hmm. A recent story says that Minnesota is prosecuting white mother for uttering the N word at a “five year-old DISABLED Somali boy, who had just stolen from her in a park. Could the poor chile’s diagnosed “disability” be fake autism, used by the family to up their dole?
Where does a five year old learn to steal?
From their family.
And arresting her shows just how Londonistan, Minneapolis has become.
No other discussions of the boy, other than a broad "disabled" label.
This, from the very people that hate labels.
“Deport the lot”
I believe, that we as a nation need to consider those who immigrate to the United States and that defraud the government, as deal breaker. Yes, no matter if they have green cards, or even Citizenship, that if you were NOT a citizen, you should be deported. Those that come here to have children, anchor babies, also should be deported. If you are here as a immigrant, and you require welfare subsidies before you become a Citizen, you cannot be a US Citizen and you will be deported.
Somalis are the bottom of the barrel immigrants and refugees. They exist by ripping off the social welfare systems in every way they can figure out. They get useless gubbermint jobs too.
They are highly evolved in only one way. Ripping off the taxpayers. Plus they have the usual Muslims belief and attitude of superiority at all non-Muslims. So they think that you are actually the idiot, not themselves. BLAME the retards in the Lutheran Church for bringing these useless eater refugees into Minnesota and the USA.
Did walz his name get a cut of that ?
