Report state program fraud

State agency reporting requirements

Minnesota has many public programs in place to provide funding to make things like child care and pandemic recovery more manageable for businesses and more affordable for Minnesotans in need. But some bad actors seek to defraud these programs for their own personal gain. This depletes resources and deprives some Minnesota families of help they need. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Financial Crimes and Fraud section investigates state program fraud crimes involving:

Theft of public funds
Fraud against programs funded or administered by state government
Fraud committed against individual Minnesotans

Are you a whistleblower?

A whistleblower is an employee who, in good faith, reports information about violations of the law by an employer or other entities to expose wrongdoing. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation, including adverse employment actions that may otherwise discourage an employee from making a report.

Report suspected state program fraud

Executive Order 25-01 and Executive Order 25-10 require Minnesota state agencies and employees to report suspected state program fraud and financial crimes to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s (BCA) Financial Crime and Fraud Section (FCFS), Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB), the Minnesota Department of Administration (Admin), Minnesota Department of Revenue (MDOR), and the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA). Use this form to provide information to the BCA FCFS, MMB, Admin and MDOR.

If you are a whistleblower reporting suspected state program fraud (see whistleblower definition above) your information will only be sent to the BCA FCFS and will not be sent to MMB, Admin or MDOR in keeping with whistleblower protections in Minnesota law.
