House Republicans have started a new task force to look into social services fraud in Ohio.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has chosen Rep. Brandon Gill to lead this task force.

Comer and Gill sent a letter to Ohio's Medicaid director to ask for documents about a report on Medicaid fraud.

A news outlet found 288 home health companies in Columbus, Ohio, that shared the same addresses and billed the government over $250 million.

Rep. Brandon Gill is a member of the House Oversight Committee.

A whistleblower says there is a lot of fraud in the Somali community in Ohio and Minnesota.

Rep. Gill says Americans want the truth and do not want to be cheated by the government.

Comer says Gill will help expose bad ideologies and protect American freedom.

Gill's task force will look into institutions that support diversity and inclusion policies and people who misuse social welfare programs.

The task force is being created while House Oversight Republicans are investigating social services fraud in other states.

Comer chose Gill to lead the task force because of his experience on the Oversight Committee.

A report says millions of dollars were billed from empty offices in Ohio.

Comer and Gill wrote that the Medicaid system does not have good controls to prevent fraud.

Comer has authorized the task force for six months, and Gill will hold hearings later.

Ohio's Republican gubernatorial nominee, Vivek Ramaswamy, has promised to look into the state's Medicaid spending.

Ramaswamy says he will examine how the state's Medicaid dollars are being spent.

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for governor of Ohio.

Ramaswamy says any instance of waste or fraud should be prosecuted.

The Ohio Department of Medicaid says it has safeguards in place to prevent fraud.
