Section 6 provides for *qui tam* actions under 31 U.S.C. §3730.[^1] The order's recitals refer to states that "used eligibility loopholes, allowed self-certification," and that failed to provide "enrollee information to the Federal Government for eligibility verification."[^1] The order's title states its purpose: to eliminate fraud.[^1] The record assembled here does not document any finding, referral, prosecution, or recovery attributed to the task force. It therefore does not establish what the order has produced in any particular program or case.[^1] ## In the Minnesota record ### Who - Under §2(b), the Vice President is designated Chairman of the task force.[^1] - Section 1 names the [[Feeding Our Future]] matter.[^1] ### What - The order establishes the *Task Force To Eliminate Fraud*.[^1] - Section 6 provides for *qui tam* actions under 31 U.S.C. §3730.[^1] ### When - The order was signed on March 16, 2026.[^1] - It was published at 91 FR 13485 on March 19, 2026.[^1] ### Where - Section 1 names the State of Minnesota.[^1] ### Why - The recitals describe states that "used eligibility loopholes, allowed self-certification," and that failed to provide "enrollee information to the Federal Government for eligibility verification."[^1] - The record shows this stated rationale.
