Eight Individuals Charged in $68 Million Social Adult Day Care and Home Health Care Scheme (United States District Court, Eastern District of New York)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

Pursuant to public city records access, (FOIL) I hereby request any court documents or rulings regarding the matter of the case above. This case was ruled on 10-9-24. The case involved some fraudulent payments made to the defendants Zakia Khan and Ahsan Ijaz, who owned and operated two Brooklyn-based social adult day cares, Happy Family Social Adult Day Care, Inc. (Happy Family) and Family Social Adult Day Care, Inc. (Family Social), and a financial intermediary, Responsible Care Staffing, Inc. (Responsible Care), for the New York Medicaid Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which permits family members of Medicaid recipients to receive payment for assisting Medicaid recipients with activities of daily living. In exchange for kickbacks and bribes, marketers Elaine Antao, Omneah Hamdi, and Manal Wasef referred Medicaid recipients to Happy Family, Family Social and/or Responsible Care.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Anthony Ruiz
