Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, has recently posted a series of updates on her social media account regarding developments related to the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) and legislative activities at the Capitol.

On July 31, 2025, Robbins wrote, "My letter requesting a federal HHS audit of Minnesota DHS has spurred several important developments. https://t.co/LHmEbuQbnK".

The following day, August 1, 2025, she posted an update from the state legislature: "I stopped by the Capitol this week and wanted to give you an update on the House Office Building Boondoggle! https://t.co/NWpEbYfCgE".

Later that same day, Robbins commented further on actions taken regarding Medicaid oversight in Minnesota: "Long overdue! The pressure from federal law enforcement & my request for a federal @USDeptHHS audit of @MinnesotaDHS’s Medicaid program shamed @GovTimWalz into shutting down the fraud-ridden Housing Stabilization Services. He still hasn’t fired anyone - we need accountability. https://t.co/kdHMadxoqx".

In recent years, scrutiny over Minnesota DHS programs has increased amid reports of improper payments and concerns about program integrity. Calls for greater oversight have included demands for external audits and administrative accountability within state agencies responsible for administering public assistance programs.
