Minnesota has started a new program to stop fraud. The action follows a major scandal involving child nutrition funds.
Governor Tim Walz announced the plan on Friday. It aims to improve how the state finds and prevents fraud across all agencies.
The move is a direct response to the "Feeding Our Future" case. In that scheme, organizers stole an estimated $250 million. The money was federal aid intended to feed children.
The new program will use better technology and training. The goal is to protect taxpayer money and ensure it reaches people who truly need it.
