SF 3849 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain investigations disclosure and withholding of payments within 30 days of a request requirement provision

SF 3849 requires Minnesota's Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) to disclose the existence of ongoing investigations into possible overpayments of public funds to service providers or recipients within 30 days of a written request. This affects service providers and recipients who may be under investigation for potential overpayments of state benefits. The bill amends existing law to mandate this 30-day disclosure timeline, replacing previous requirements that allowed agencies to withhold such information without a specific time limit. It does not change the substance of investigations or payment decisions, only the disclosure process for the investigation's existence.
