A former Ramsey County forensic auditor and whistleblower says he found dozens of suspected fraud cases involving Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) more than a decade ago.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is protecting the identity of the whistleblower because they still do contracted forensic investigations for government agencies.
The whistleblower spent more than two years investigating suspected fraud in the CCAP program and said there were felony fraud charges brought against four separate day care centers.
As a contracted Ramsey County forensic investigator, the whistleblower told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he found evidence of dozens of fraud cases and brought the information to the inspector general in the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
“There were more than 60 cases of suspected fraud in CCAP in 2013,” the whistleblower said. “And that is where the DHS investigator and I came up with the number that it could be more than $100 million.”
