Federal agents hit social adult daycares in Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island in an investigation targeting more than 100 New York providers of a program Medicaid paid roughly $2.4 billion from 2019 through October 2024.
Agents carried boxes out of Hanmaum Daycare in Flushing, and NY1 spotted agents at two Brooklyn locations [38]; ABC7 reported agents at Happy Adult Day Care in Borough Park and two arrests on Staten Island [46]. The programs are Medicaid-funded and provide meals, supervision and daycare so older adults can stay in their communities [38]. CMS administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz personally delivered warning letters at two Flushing centers, Fox News Digital reports via the Post, and a Kent Senior Care director told him the center billed only for seniors who attended [20]. Hochul has ordered a review that could lead to replacing the benefit with other services [38].

“Should the American taxpayers be paying so folks can play mahjong?”
