Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees
@Minnesota_DHS
We are over 480 current staff of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) with pride & commitment towards our work with goals of public transparency.
Our original Twitter account was wrongfully closed due to the oppression of speech at DHS. We will continue to start new Twitter accounts to share evidence of corruption & wrongdoing at our agency with public. We need corruption to stop. We will not be silenced. #nomorecorruption
Thanks Rep Robins for real leadership. In addition to Walz-Flanagan, sadly - Every Democratic politician turned a blind eye to our alarm calls on DHS/Medicaid Fraud. Over 4 years, only Republican politicians responded & cared about stopping fraud. Not a single Democrat cared ☹️
Minnesotans expect accountability when fraud occurs but instead the Walz-Flanagan Admin has allowed fraud to flourish. A federal audit is necessary to root out fraud and corruption.
Fraud in MN DHS can never be solved without investigating how MMB turned a blind eye to all the whistleblowers who reached out for help - only to be ignored by MMB. From setting illegal hiring policies to ignoring massive financial fraud, MMB needs to be audited next.
Under @GovTimWalz, the Dept of Ed has stopped prioritizing academic achievement, putting our students’ future at risk. 50% of Minnesota kids can’t read or do math at grade level. It is a crisis that must be addressed.
Our staff are auditing all program areas of Minnesota DHS for fraud & estimates are ballooning over $5 Billion since 2017. Feeding Our Future fraud is nothing compared to Medicaid & Grants fraud at DHS.
When the investigations are said and done, Minnesota will have seen over $1 billion in fraud.
Next Fraud Tip: Nearly every substance use disorder (SUD) program at MN DHS is affected by mismanagement & possible fraud. Numerous concerns raised yet no action from leaders. External auditors need to step in immediately.
Shireen Gandhi “Temp Commissioner” of DHS spearheaded efforts to stop accountability & good governance w/an external Office of Inspector General (OIG). Shireen claims DHS OIG is sufficient but why is there so much fraud? Reality: Shireen is the real fraud. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…
The fraud problem has become so large in Minnesota that ignoring it is no longer an option. A comprehensive federal audit must be conducted, and we must establish an independent Office of Inspector General in the next session.
If there’s a Forensic Audit on DHS systems, here is what you’ll want to investigate: SWIFT for funds being transferred without legal authority, Crowdstrike/Plan9 & other surveillance software, illegal retention or destruction of data via SOC servers, MMIS/SSIS & personal servers
Can Minnesota raise hell about the fraud & divisiveness that Tim Walz created? The retaliation & threats to whistleblower by Tim Walz staff is akin to the very gestapo he decries. When whistleblowers are silenced, that’s when we know our state is run by a dictator: Tim Walz.
🚨 BREAKING: Tim Walz just sent out this campaign text, which raises more violent rhetoric. “Trump and his MAGA henchmen aren't going to go away willingly. That's why it's time to get up, get loud, and raise some hell.”
Ask this question of Eric Grundahl at: [email protected] Eric started in Behavioral Health/Housing/Deaf Admin. His performance was so poor that Jodi Harpstead created a new admin just for him. Seems Eric hasn’t improved despite getting paid job coaches on taxpayer dime.
If it was poorly designed, who designed it? Is that person still on the DHS payroll? If so, why?
Fraud-ridden Housing Stabilization Services program at DHS is hiring for a supervisor to work w/infamous Eric Grumdahl. Is it surprising that DHS still has funds for this program despite huge fraud? Applicants get paid up to $91K to manage corrupt program. careers.mn.gov/psc/mnjob/MNCA…
Public: Peggy Flanagan is complicit in fostering environments ripe for massive fraud scandals. In April 2024 at a public health conference hosted by DHS, Peggy publicly denounced whistleblowers who were concerned about fraud. Peggy Flanagan is arguably worse than Tim Walz.
The stories and images coming out of Gaza are heart-wrenching and avoidable. I can’t imagine not being able to provide food for my daughter. As someone who has spent my entire career on improving access to food and increasing food security, I implore our leaders here in the U.S.…
It is scary to think that not only hiring in Minnesota has become a racial issue but also medical care - something that is life or death. Should race play a role in Medicaid eligibility? Is this the Minnesota we want? What has happened to MN DHS?
Our colleagues in MN DHS Medicaid Eligibility & Enrollment just shared that certain ethnic groups face far higher denial rates. Is it true that certain Minnesotans could be denied healthcare coverage because of their background & not a refugee or are a “privileged” status?
Public should know: Tim Walz cares little for Minnesota; he only cares for “numbers” to boost his political image. This pushed agencies like DHS to create programs without oversight to inflate numbers of people we purport to serve. All for Tim Walz’s image kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…
Jessica Geil is Chief Compliance Officer & responsible for enacting Office of Legislative Auditor (OLA) guidelines & legislative directives. Have they done that? No. Nobody knows who Jess is let alone knows what they do all day. OLA makes recommendations; almost none implemented
A federal audit of DHS will provide public accountability, catch fraudsters, and ensure internal controls and recommendations from the legislature and OLA are being followed.

$1 billion of fraud under Tim Walz That figure comes from acting U.S. Attorney (chief federal prosecutor) Joe Thompson. Jay Kolls of @KSTP has the scoop. americanexperiment.org/1-billion-of-f…
Let’s ask DHS “Chief Compliance Officer” why they don’t implement Office of Legislative Auditors guidance. Shireen Gandhi & Jess Geil. These two have systematically run DHS like a mafia, which is why nepotism is bad for public jobs. Jess: Do you falsify data for requests?
The Dept of Human Services has had years to implement recommended internal controls & stop payments for credible fraud allegations. The @GovTimWalz Admin has failed taxpayers & vulnerable citizens & we can’t wait until next session to root it out. We need a federal audit.
Fraud is both external & internal of DHS, meaning not only do bad actors like certain providers commit fraud, bad actors within DHS commit fraud with impunity. Scary thing: These bad actors are protected by Tim Walz. Dave Greeman, Chief Financial Officer is expert at moving money
Chair @KRobbinsMN on @KSTP: 🎥 "We need to really understand the internal control processes that are happening, or not happening, at DHS, and where these breakdowns are happening, so we can stop the fraud on the front end. The latest scandals are just the tip of the iceberg. "
This below is 100% truth. We witnessed the retaliation & it had a chilling effect on staff. Reporting fraud at DHS will result in serious harm & that’s why fraud remains pervasive - thanks to Shireen Gandhi & other bad actors.
I cannot put into words how demoralizing it is to see this happen. I’ve seen SO MANY instances of leadership being promoted after employees (including me) raised concerns about them. It’s always the same-the whistleblower gets retaliation and the problem leader gets promoted.
100% correct. No consequences for corrupting our state agencies & allowing fraud go unchecked. Jodi Harpstead bailed as soon as fraud went public - all while she tried to entrap staff. Next “leaders” that need to step down: Erin Campbell of MMB & Shireen Gandhi of DHS, of course.
If you allow fraud to happen in Minnesota, you will be allowed to sneak out the back door. Heather Mueller @MnDeptEd & Jodi Harpstead @Minnesota_DHS. Let’s not forget @GovTimWalz💩 & @AGEllison🤡 who blamed a judge for the fraud to continue.
To date, not a single DHS “leader” has been held accountable for massive fraud/mismanagement, some have just runaway. Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Kulani Moti, Jennifer Yang, Eric Grumdahl, Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, many others. Yet whistleblowers have been retaliated against..
