The author SAM ADOLPHSEN and his colleagues have uncovered the fraudulent welfare system in Minnesota, designed to cut checks and ask no questions. They argue that the current “One Door” welfare policy, which attempts to streamline welfare enrollment by using one integrated eligibility and enrollment process for all programs, is a one-way street to welfare fraud. Since 2018, 14 high-risk Medicaid programs in Minnesota have cost taxpayers more than $18 billion, with half or more of that spending being fraudulent. The author argues that this policy allows for more people to enroll in one welfare program at a cost of one, multiplying fraud and erroneous payments across programs. Nearly 100 people have been charged with welfare fraud, and the number of people charged with such crimes continues to rise. The article suggests that states should implement strong work requirements, remove illegal aliens from welfare rolls, and protect program integrity. It would be a critical setback to the Trump administration's War on Fraud efforts.
