Labor Secretary Lori Chavez\u2011DeRemer is dispatching a specialized unemployment insurance \u201cstrike team\u201d to probe whether the state\u2019s UI system has been exploited, following massive fraud scandals in Medicaid and the Feeding Our Future case.

Federal officials have cited conservative media claims that some proceeds may have reached al\u2011Shabaab, though no terrorism\u2011financing charges have been filed. State employment officials counter that their payment accuracy and fraud controls outperform national standards and say they welcome federal review. The strike team\u2019s findings will test those assurances \u2014 and determine whether Minnesota\u2019s crisis is mostly criminal, mostly political, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1766448\" data-uid=\"14f76\">\n<div id=\"mgw1766448_14f76\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota was just put on notice.
