# May 21, 2026 Minnesota health-care fraud takedown *A federal enforcement action charging 15 defendants in more than $90 million in alleged fraud against Minnesota public programs.* The May 21, 2026 Minnesota health-care fraud takedown was a federal criminal enforcement action. In it, the U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against 15 defendants for alleged fraud exceeding $90 million against [[Minnesota]] public programs.[^1] The Criminal Division's Health Care Fraud Unit publishes summaries of the 2026 Minnesota cases. Among them are the charges against [[Ahmed Kadar]] of [[Rosemount]].[^2] The project's at-issue entries divide the alleged amounts among four Minnesota program lines: EIDBI autism services, [[Housing Stabilization Services]], [[Individualized Home Supports]] and child care. The entries state that the State operated all four programs.[^1][^2] One entry places a defendant's submitted-claims figure beside the amount paid, approximately $1.4 million each.[^2] The charges are allegations. The record establishes what the Justice Department announced. It does not establish the outcome of any defendant's case.[^1] ## Who The Justice Department charged 15 defendants in the takedown.[^1] The Health Care Fraud Unit's case summaries include Ahmed Kadar of Rosemount.[^2] The project's [[Dakota]] claims exposure matrix rests on Justice Department sources. According to the matrix, Kadar was charged with three counts of health care fraud and two counts of money laundering through [[Ultimate Home Health LLC]].[^2] The same matrix attributes eight of the defendants to the Housing Stabilization Services line.[^1][^2] ## What The charges allege fraud against Minnesota-administered programs. The project's entry groups them into four program lines, each with its own alleged fraud pattern.[^1][^2] The allegations against Kadar concern [[Integrated Community Supports]] claims.[^2] The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota made two other announcements about the Housing Stabilization Services program. One covered a first wave of charges.[^3] The other announced charges against six additional defendants and one guilty plea in ongoing fraud matters.[^4] The record does not date these releases relative to the takedown, and it does not establish whether their defendants overlap with the 15 charged on May 21, 2026.[^3][^4] ## When The Justice Department dates the takedown to May 21, 2026.[^1] The project's matrix records the Kadar charges under the same date.[^2] ## Where Kadar is identified as a resident of Rosemount, in the matrix's Dakota County section.[^2] The project's Carver County history examined the takedown list and found no Carver County provider, address or defendant.[^1] ## How much The Justice Department puts the alleged fraud at more than $90 million.[^1] The project's at-issue entry gives the following alleged amounts by program line:[^1][^2] - EIDBI autism services: $46.6 million - Housing Stabilization Services: $15.7 million - Individualized Home Supports: $22 million - Child care: $5.025 million The four line figures sum to $89.325 million. The Justice Department release states the total as more than $90 million.[^1] For Kadar, the matrix reports approximately $1.4 million submitted in Integrated Community Supports claims and approximately $1.4 million paid.[^2] ## How many - 15 defendants were charged in the takedown.[^1] - 4 Minnesota program lines are named in the at-issue entry.[^1][^2] - 8 defendants are attributed to the Housing Stabilization Services line.[^1][^2] - 5 counts were brought against Kadar: three of health care fraud and two of money laundering.[^2] - 6 additional defendants were announced in a separate U.S. Attorney's Office release on fraud matters that included Housing Stabilization Services.[^4] ## In the at-issue record The Dakota entry sets Kadar's approximately $1.4 million in submitted claims beside approximately $1.4 million paid. It describes the two as the same number and states that the charges are allegations. It also states that the payment ratio is a fact about the program.[^2] A second entry sets the four program-line figures beside a single federal charging document. It notes that the State operated all four programs.[^1][^2] The project anchors the first entry to a March 2025 presidential action on protecting federal funds against fraud, waste and abuse.[^5] It anchors the second to a March 2026 presidential action establishing a task force to eliminate fraud.[^6] ## Notes [^1]: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Public Affairs, *Minnesota Health Care Fraud Takedown Results in Charges Against 15 Defendants in Over $90M Fraud* (May 21, 2026) — 15 defendants charged; more than $90 million in alleged fraud; takedown list reviewed in the project's Carver County history. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/minnesota-health-care-fraud-takedown-results-charges-against-15-defendants-over-90m-fraud [^2]: U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Health Care Fraud Unit, *2026 Minnesota HCF Case Summaries* (2026) — case summaries for the May 21, 2026 takedown, including Ahmed Kadar of Rosemount; complaint allegations. https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-fraud/health-care-fraud-unit/2026-minnesota-hcf-case-summaries [^3]: U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Minnesota, *Defendants Charged in First Wave of Housing Stabilization Fraud Cases* (undated in the record) — first-wave Housing Stabilization Services charges. https://justice.gov/usao-mn/pr/defendants-charged-first-wave-housing-stabilization-fraud-cases [^4]: U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Minnesota, *Six Additional Defendants Charged, One Defendant Pleads Guilty in Ongoing Fraud Schemes* (undated in the record) — six additional defendants charged; one guilty plea. https://www.justice.gov/usao-mn/pr/six-additional-defendants-charged-one-defendant-pleads-guilty-ongoing-fraud-schemes [^5]: The White House, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (Mar. 2025) — presidential action cited as the anchor of the Kadar at-issue entry. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/protecting-americas-bank-account-against-fraud-waste-and-abuse/ [^6]: The White House, *Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud* (Mar. 2026) — presidential action cited as the anchor of the program-line at-issue entry. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/03/establishing-the-task-force-to-eliminate-fraud/
