$17 Million Reasons How Kansas Pays Child Welfare Social Impact Bonds

The State of Kansas did not just file false claims to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare for Children's Health Insurance Program Bonuses, it used the money to make payments on its social impact bonds running its child welfare programs, fund the politcal campaigns of its candidates, and paid its child welfare lobbyists who just so happen to also be employed by the privatized state contractor KVC and its elected officials, who just also so happens to be on the payroll for KVC.

Kansas intentionally makes people poor, so their children are poor, so they can submit fraudulent billing and false claims like this.

Taken directly from the HHS OIG Report:
Some of the bonus payments that Kansas received for the audit period were not allowable in accordance with Federal requirements. Most of the data used in Kansas’ bonus payment calculations were in accordance with Federal requirements. However, the State agency overstated its FYs 2009 through 2013 current enrollment in its bonus requests to CMS because it included individuals who did not qualify because of their BOE code. As a result, CMS overpaid Kansas $17,796,598 in bonus payments. 


Now, the major question is....."When will the U.S. Department of Justice finally step in and clean up the public corruption going on in Kansas elections, its child welfare programs, and, what I have yet to really put out there, its fraudulent land bank activitites?
