Vice President JD Vance is leading a federal initiative, described by President Trump during Tuesday’s State of the Union as a “war on fraud.”
The administration has suspended Medicaid payments to Minnesota, citing concerns about fraud in the state’s program.
Federal officials said approximately $259 million in Medicaid funding is being withheld while the review proceeds.
Vance appeared alongside Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz when announcing the action.
Minnesota officials have been given 60 days to address federal concerns and implement corrective measures in order to potentially restore the suspended funds. The administration says the action is part of a broader effort to combat fraud in federal benefit programs and prevent misuse of taxpayer funds.
Minnesota Democratic leaders have criticized the funding suspension as politically motivated and warned it could impact beneficiaries.
