Tim Walz’s Executive Order 25-10 directing immediate removal of providers who haven’t billed in the past 12 months. DHS said the step, which excludes 621 inactive Housing Stabilization Services providers slated to end Oct. 31, is part of tightening oversight after widespread fraud allegations, with additional rounds of eliminations planned.
