(The Center Square) – Taxpayers have covered millions of dollars in fraudulent homecare charges to Medicaid and Medicare since pandemic-era grants flooded the industry without proper oversight, federal investigators said Tuesday. That money was paid to beneficiaries who were on international vacations, behind bars or working for ride share and food delivery apps. In other instances, homecare workers repeatedly billed government insurance for 400 shifts exceeding 24 hours per day. The findings came from the Northeast Healthcare Fraud Strike Force, which said on Tuesday it has expanded into Philadelphia, where it will charge 19 defendants for scamming the Medicaid and Medicare system to the tune of $4 million. “We will no longer tolerate fraud against our most vulnerable citizens and our most important health programs, and to anyone engaged in healthcare fraud of any kind, of any size, we see you, and we are doing everything we can to bring you to justice,” said Colin McDonald, assistant attorney general for the National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Department of Justice. “The era of getting rich off the backs of our programs for our sick, elderly, and disabled is over.” Scammers often game the system by reporting together as caregivers and patients to claim payments for care that was never given or received. Dr. Mehmet Oz, administer of the U.S. Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services, said Pennsylvania ranks fifth nationally in average monthly payments to both beneficiaries and providers, totaling an average $50,000 per person. Worse, he said, 96% of personal care claims are for unspecified illnesses, making them harder to track. He blames funds paid during the COVID-19 pandemic as the catalyst for “this corruption to be weaponized.” “We have no tolerance for anyone who invents hours, invents a disability, invents a workforce at the expense of people who depend on these programs,” he said. “And if you love these most vulnerable Americans, you should care as well.” The task force said Tuesday’s charges are an extension of the work done in California, Massachusetts and Minnesota.

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for our free weekly newsletter to get the latest.What happened?A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services rule that had prohibited the League of Women Voters and other groups from registering voters at naturalization ceremonies held at the agency’s offices.In his ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Adam Abelson said the government’s ban was a potential free speech violation under the First Amendment and that it likely had a discriminatory intent that breaches Fifth Amendment protections.In a statement, League of Women Voters CEO Celina Stewart celebrated the decision and emphasized the organization’s history of supporting new citizens as they prepared to vote.“Today’s ruling protects that fundamental democratic principle, and we will continue fighting to ensure every eligible voter can participate freely and fully in our democracy,” she said.What’s the dispute?USCIS announced in August that only state and local election officials can register new citizens to vote at ceremonies held at the agency’s facilities. In issuing the ban, the agency cited the “administrative burden” it faced in making sure that nongovernmental organizations providing those services were truly nonpartisan. The League of Women Voters and several of its local chapters, along with the Greater New Orleans chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women, filed a lawsuit in November 2025, alleging that the federal rule violated their constitutional rights and a federal law related to agency rulemaking.The USCIS rule doesn’t apply to naturalization ceremonies held at federal courthouses, so much of the LWV’s work has continued. But the ban on registering people at USCIS facilities caused the voting rights group to cancel 166 planned events where members and volunteers “planned to register roughly 10,000 new voters,” according to the November complaint. The LWV said in court filings that it has registered more people at naturalization ceremonies than any other organization. In the complaint, the LWV points out that many state and local election officials — who would still be allowed to register voters at USCIS facilities under the ban — are elected in partisan races, and that the government hasn’t shown any evidence of the group being partisan. But the group’s core argument is that the ban violates its First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of assembly in public places. It also claims that the USCIS violated a federal law by creating the rule without an opportunity for public comment, and that the rule itself is “arbitrary and capricious.”The League “made a very strong showing” that it’ll prevail on the merits of its argument that the ban unconstitutionally restricts its free speech rights, Abelson wrote in the ruling.Separately, the National Council of Jewish Women argued that the ban was a Fifth Amendment violation because it was put in place with discriminatory intent. Highlighting federal officials’ recent critical statements about immigration and the USCIS decision to replace the term “naturalization candidate” with “alien” in its materials, Abelson said that a discriminatory intent was likely a motivating factor for the ban.What happens now?The court case is likely to continue. The Monday ruling was preliminary, and the federal government could appeal. A USCIS spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.Read more Votebeat coverage about the ban on voter registration at some naturalization ceremonies here:Some of America’s newest citizens may face an extra barrier to the ballot box Sept. 15, 2025Alexander Shur is a reporter for Votebeat based in Wisconsin.
