Kansas Asks Taxpayers To Payback HHS For Medicaid Fraud And Their Loan Sharks

How to Keep Yourself From Yelling at Kids Even When You ...
"Ooooooo, I'm telling!"
Pissing on themselves because they may face a state budget deficeit which meanss they will not be able to pay on those social impact bonds in KVC, and probably, for my cursory investigation has turned up so far, other curious UCC1 activities of the State of Kansas.

Hold your tight to your unicorns, boys and girls, because I am getting ready to tell the UCC1 Tales in Child Welfare Fraud.

That increase is not going to the kids.

That increase is going to pay the bonds.


See, only a $500,000 shortfall I am sure Brownback, once he is sworn in to his new position will find a way of backdoor USAID filling that pesky budget shortfall to pay those social impact bonds in child welfare services.

Besides, Marilyn can just lobby for more social impact bonds for the shortfall.

A social impact bond is nothing but a privatized loan shark, using children as collateral.

In the scheme of privatization, the corporations will then be beholdened to the parental rights of the goods, which I consider to be nothing more than the trafficking of tiny humans.

This is where that UCC1 comes in.

Stay tuned.

Kansas budget proposal to include $16.5 million increase for child welfare services

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Department for Children and Families Secretary Gina Meier-Hummel announce that they will seek an additional $16.5 million over two years to bolster child welfare programs at DCF, Monday, Jan. 8, 2018, in Topeka.

 — Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer announced Monday that the administration will seek a $16.5 million funding increase over two years to bolster child welfare services at the Department for Children and Families.

DCF Secretary Gina Meier-Hummel joined Colyer at a news conference to announce the plan, just hours before the Kansas House and Senate were scheduled to gavel in the first day of the 2018 legislative session.

"DCF is charged with protecting our most vulnerable Kansans, and our goal with our budget was to make sure we have the resources needed to take care of the issues we see," Colyer said.

In recent years, DCF has been beset by a wide range of problems that eventually led to the retirement in December of former DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore and to the appointment of Meier-Hummel, of Lawrence.

Those problems included children being taken into state custody and forced to sleep in social workers' offices because of a lack of emergency-placement homes, as well as more than 70 children in foster care who have been reported missing.

Those issues also prompted lawmakers last year to form a special child welfare task force, which is scheduled to issue its report and recommendations in January 2019.

Colyer listed several areas where the new funds would be focused, including the hiring of 20 additional child welfare staff; the hiring of investigative staff to help track down missing children; fingerprinting and background checks for foster care providers; improvements to a center where people can report suspected abuse and neglect; and more funding for family-preservation programs that are designed to prevent at-risk children from being taken into foster care.

In addition, the administration is asking to hire an outside consultant to perform a top-to-bottom review of the agency.

"We have been consulting with folks across the country since I've been in office a little over a month now," Meier-Hummel said, "and we know we are targeting the right things to focus on, but certainly we'll want to bring some additional experts to the table."

Colyer said about half of the $16.5 million would come from the state general fund, with matching funds from the federal government.

Meier-Hummel said if it's approved, it would be the biggest single one-time increase in child welfare funding in the state's history.

She also said that since she took over the agency, it has had success tracking down some of the runaway foster children. She said it's a constantly changing population, but that the agency has found approximately 110 children who had been reported missing at one time, while another 70 are still not found.

Of the total amount, Colyer said, about $4 million would be sought as an enhancement to the current fiscal year's budget, while the remainder would go into the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The request comes at a time when lawmakers are under intense pressure from the Kansas Supreme Court to increase funding for public schools. But Colyer said the administration believes lawmakers would be able to address both issues.

"We have enough cushion within the budget to deal with this," he said. "This is a high-priority thing, and we need to deal with it."

Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, who attended Monday's news conference, said he was impressed with what he had heard and that he supported the proposal.

"She needs some extra resources, but it's a priority item," he said. "When we get the full budget, we'll be able to evaluate it."

Gov. Sam Brownback's budget director, Shawn Sullivan, is expected to release full details of the budget proposal to the Legislature and the news media Wednesday morning, the day after Brownback's State of the State address.

Releasing details of the governor's budget plan before the plan is released to legislators is unusual at the Statehouse, but publicizing the DCF budget proposal appeared to be part of the gradual handing-over of power from Brownback, who is expected to resign pending his confirmation to a diplomatic post in the Trump administration.

Colyer said he expects Brownback's nomination to be voted upon on the U.S. Senate floor early this year.

What's The Difference Between Michigan's Emergency Manager and Child Welfare?

What is the differences between Michigan's Emergency Manager Law and Child Welfare Law?

Before you try to answer that, watch this video:



Now watch this one and compare.  Detroit is about to be put into foster care and its elected officials are to have their parental rights terminated.  All the city assets are to be sold off and adopted through denationalization of privatization and there is nothing you can do about it.



Failure to care for the best interests of the goods of society means the state has the right to step in and take over, terminating the rights of elected officials.  Only the state can say what are the best interests and there is no opportunity to challenge the decision.  The state can say whatever it wants and there is nothing you can do about it.

Michigan's Emergency Manager Law was based on Child Protection Doctrine.

Transparency Ruptures the Rapture of Fraud

A major concern in foster care has been the number of placements a child must experience. Children are often moved multiple times during the length of stay in foster care. There are community organizations which design programs to assist with the emotional moves of these children. Children's Rights has advocated for a reduction in the number of foster care placements in the courts.

Now, let's step back and take a look at other possible reasons for multiple foster care placements of children.

Fraud. Yes, fraud.

Under Title IV-E methodologies, the relocation of a foster child to another foster home is an administrative cost. These costs, rarely found outside of the eyes of the child placing agencies, are false.

It works like this: A child is placed in a foster home, then, the child is moved, for whatever reason a case worker can conjure, and placed in a new home. That administrative placement activity is then, billed, under Title IV-E payment rates. (Relative placements do not fall under foster care payment structures. In most states, presenting the most viable reason why states have been unsuccessful in adopting policies for relative placements...it ruptures fraud)

This is such a simplistic reimbursable cost activity that the administrative actors then take it to the next level. A child may have multiple placements on paper, but in all actuality, remain in one placement.

To validate these allegations, one must possess the authority to contemporaneously review court case files and the child placing agency administrative cost filings to the state. As the court documents are, in some instances, under seal, or impossible to access due (i.e. shredding, lost, misplaced, stolen, FOIA), the ability to execute a detailed forensic examination of the billing becomes equivalent to a uneccessary-drug-induced state of psychosis.

Then, layer this with the name of God and impenetrable iron curtain of child welfare destroying the innate concepts of transparency and accountability, and you have the makings of a fraud scheme in child welfare. All billing in child welfare is a secret.

Package this particular "revenue-maximization scheme" in the lack of state administrative oversight of these privatized contracts and rates (see p.4 allegation #4), and you have identified the financial incentives for multiple placements in foster care (whether true or false claims).
