HHS DOGE 团队已扩展了 "捍卫支出" 系统，要求美国所有 ACF 付款都必须有正当理由。 自 2025 年 3 月以来，"捍卫支出" 仅适用于 HHS 自由支出，这不包括这些 ACF 付款。 在接下来的几天里，我们将扩展系统以支持逐项收据和照片证据，并在可能的情况下向公众提供所有数据/收据。

We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota. You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade. Today we have taken three actions against the blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country: 1. I have activated our defend the spend system for all ACF payments. Starting today, all ACF payments across America will require a justification and a receipt or photo evidence before we send money to a state. 2. Alex Adams and I have identified the individuals in @nickshirleyy's excellent work. I have demanded from @GovTimWalz a comprehensive audit of these centers. This includes attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations, and inspections. 3. We have launched a dedicated fraud-reporting hotline and email address at Whether you are a parent, provider, or member of the general public, we want to hear from you. We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud. @ACFHHS @HHSGov
