This Livewire page says ABI Resources and David Medeiros may qualify under EAJA for a planned matter. Treat that as a preliminary eligibility claim, not an award. Check six conditions: qualifying proceeding, eligible party, net-worth and employee limits at the relevant start date, prevailing-party status, whether the government's position was substantially justified, and special circumstances. A planned lawsuit, small-business status, executive order, complaint, or public-benefit mission does not guarantee jurisdiction, success, fees, expert costs, or counsel without upfront payment. Under 28 USC 2412 and 5 USC 504, court and agency routes differ, and applications follow a final judgment or final disposition with strict timing and documentation. Verify the correct statute, party, forum, financial proof, and deadline with counsel. Review the EAJA checklist at david-medeiros.com/eaja-record.

David Medeiros
Owner, ABI Resources LLC
ABI Resources LLC, a Connecticut-based provider of Medicaid-funded Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver and Money Follows the Person (MFP) services, along with its owner David Medeiros, fully qualifies as a small-business party under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(2)(B) and 5 U.S.C. § 504(b)(1)(B).
The company is preparing a targeted federal civil action against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to address systemic failures in the oversight and administration of all federally-funded Medicaid programs in Connecticut. These failures have harmed thousands of Connecticut citizens who rely on Medicaid, violated constitutional rights, and directly impacted small businesses such as ABI Resources LLC.
This action is undertaken in direct support of the national effort to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, consistent with President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance.
EAJA will be utilized to its maximum statutory ability so the federal government directly compensates qualified counsel and necessary forensic experts on an EAJA-contingent (no-upfront-cost) basis. This ensures the system funds its own accountability. All evidence and filings will remain permanently archived and publicly indexed on the Livewire platform at david-medeiros.com.
Attorneys and forensic experts with demonstrated experience in EAJA matters, Medicaid program integrity, Olmstead Act compliance, constitutional rights enforcement, and federal whistleblower litigation are invited to contact the company through this website if prepared to represent a qualifying small-business party on an EAJA-only basis.
