OLA — DHS Information Technology Systems (2020)

Source: Office of the Legislative Auditor, Minnesota · Document date: 2020-02-01 · Type: Audit Report

OLA evaluation of DHS information technology systems, focusing on MMIS/MAXIS obsolescence, fraud detection analytics limitations, and DHS's data integration gaps. Part of the documented series of OLA IT warnings.

Significance: Establishes that OLA flagged MMIS/MAXIS obsolescence as a fraud-enabler in 2020 — and that the system had been noted in every relevant OLA report since 2007. The DHS fraud detection infrastructure runs on 1980s technology, a fact documented here and cited in the technology-systems and ola-ignored-warnings investigations.
