47 Illinois human services workers fired, disciplined over pandemic fraud – Center Square

Gov. JB Pritzker says at one facility, the word got around; disciplinary actions at the Ludeman Developmental Center in Park Forest affected 32 mental health technicians, three supervisors, one program coordinator and a nurse. “When you find out there are 37 people that have done this, they obviously have been talking to one another at work,” Pritzker said. “Maybe someone committed this kind of fraud then tried to convince somebody else that they can show them how to do this.”
