WHY Retaliation for protected whistleblower activity exposing discrimination and non compliance in the Medicaid ABI Waiver Program administration while protecting institutional revenue and avoiding Olmstead accountability. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY David Medeiros a traumatic brain injury survivor and licensed Medicaid ABI Waiver provider submits this forensic report as a formal federal complaint. The Connecticut Department of Social Services has engaged in discriminatory practices and retaliation against ABI Resources LLC in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act Olmstead integration mandate and whistleblower protections. CHRO Case 2410220 filed against DSS has been obstructed through administrative delays failure to provide reasonable accommodations and deliberate spoliation of evidence including the February 9 2024 mass deletion of at least ten high importance emails by Dedra A. Morris. Despite formal service on December 15 2023 and multiple urgent demands including the February 4 2024 letter delivered to Attorney General William Tong no substantive response or investigation has occurred. These actions create unnecessary risk of institutionalization for ABI survivors by disrupting community based services and denying free choice of provider. The pattern violates Olmstead integration principles 42 CFR §431.51 and constitutional due process. All metadata read receipts and deletion events have been forensically preserved in the Livewire vault.
