Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge host Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick to discuss state oversight of federal program expenditures, Medicaid compliance, and findings from the annual Single Audit of $20.5 billion in federal funds administered across Missouri state agencies. Fitzpatrick summarizes meetings held with federal fraud task force representatives—including U.S. Department of Justice officials—and outlines key audit findings regarding MO HealthNet administration. The audit identified approximately 10,000 duplicate Medicaid enrollments resulting in an estimated $60 million annual expense, an 85,000-person eligibility re-verification backlog, and oversight deficiencies in pandemic-era nutrition assistance programs managed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.For official voter registration guidelines, sample ballots, and election information, consult the Missouri Secretary of State Elections Division.
