Department of Human Services reassigns controversial inspector general

The top official in charge of investigating fraud at the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has been reassigned to another position nine months after the state's legislative auditor found disarray within her department.

Carolyn Ham, who has been on leave from her inspector general position, became the subject of an internal investigation after the legislative auditor found high levels of fraud in the state's child-care assistance program and distrust between Ham and her team of anti-fraud investigators.
