A filing is not a finding. Read the original source before drawing conclusions.
The author says he called the federal health inspector general's hotline to report possible conflicts involving Connecticut Medicaid.
The account describes a commissioner's past and continuing affiliations and a senator's paid role at the same organization.
The article lists organizational pages, a legislative biography, nonprofit filings, and payment data as sources for the report.
A relationship or a payment total does not independently establish a conflict violation, improper billing, or misuse of public funds.
The source is the author's account of reporting concerns. It does not provide a subsequent agency decision resolving those concerns.
The page makes an absolute claim about safety and legal protection. This explainer does not repeat that guarantee.
A dated account helps identify what was reported. A receipt or reference and later response would establish additional steps separately.
Open the article. Compare the affiliation sources with the report's claims, and distinguish the author's call account from any agency-issued document.
The article documents the author's reported action and concerns. A filing is not a finding.
February 18, 2026 – I Made an Official Federal Report to the HHS Office of Inspector General in Washington DC
Today at 11:26 am EST I called the federal government hotline.
The number is 1-800-447-8477
The call was answered in Washington DC by a nice lady named Aniya.
I reported possible conflicts of interest with Connecticut Medicaid money.
What I Reported (Simple Facts)
Connecticut DSS Commissioner Andrea Barton Reeves was the Board Chair of The Village for Families & Children for many years.
She has been officially connected to The Village for 23 years and 5 months (still listed as Ambassador today).
State Senator Derek Slap also works at The Village in a paid executive job he is Vice President of Advancement.
The Village is the #1 highest-scoring agency on the February 16, 2026 “Confidence v2” list.
They received $26,159,650 in Medicaid payments 100% under one code (T2048).
Commissioner Reeves now runs the state agency that pays all this money.
Senator Slap is an elected lawmaker who helps make laws about Medicaid.
I told Aniya I am a Medicaid provider, Whistleblower and a brain injury survivor.
I offered to send the full article with all public links and records.
Why I Did This
I run ABI Resources to help people with brain injuries live at home.
I also run this website to show problems in the Connecticut Medicaid system.
When the top Medicaid boss and a sitting state senator both have strong ties to the same big agency that gets the most money, the public needs to know.
These are public facts from their own websites and records.
This report is now an official federal record.
It is 100% safe and protected under federal whistleblower laws.
