Whistleblower Silenced: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel Suppressed My Federal Disclosure

Updated: Jul 29

In 2024 and 2025 I submitted more than ten formal whistleblower disclosures to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and other federal agencies detailing Medicaid fraud, FOIA obstruction, ADA retaliation, and fund misuse within Connecticut’s ABI Waiver Program. These filings included my September 24 2024 Federal Whistleblower Report, multiple OSC case numbers (DI‑12112024134 and DI‑12192024714), FBI‑logged evidence, and a comprehensive grievance report from November 2023.


On July 25 2025 OSC’s Case Review Division closed my most recent complaint (DI‑25‑002060) claiming I hadn’t supplied the names of federal agencies I was “applying for employment” with. I never sought federal employment I am a private citizen and Medicaid provider acting under 5 U.S.C. § 1213 and the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act. Despite this, OSC misclassified my filing and refused to review the extensive evidence of misconduct.


After I rebutted this misclassification and resubmitted all evidence via PDF (the zip attachment was rejected by HHS OIG servers), the Case Review Division sent an internal note on July 28 2025: “CRD will not be engaging with Mr. Medeiros further.” This refusal to even acknowledge my protected disclosures constitutes due‑process denial and suppression of a federally protected whistleblower.


To preserve public transparency, I’m publishing my filings and correspondence here. Readers can review the entire case archive including OSC filings, whistleblower reports, grievance reports, and correspondence via this folder: View the Full Whistleblower Record Folder.


Why it matters:

• FOIA and ADA violations: The Connecticut Department of Social Services and affiliated agencies delayed, denied, or destroyed requested records and failed to accommodate my disability despite legal obligations.

• Misclassification and retaliation: OSC’s insistence that I was a job applicant allowed them to summarily close my case and avoid investigating documented Medicaid fraud. This runs counter to their statutory duty to protect whistleblowers.

• Public accountability: By refusing to reopen the case or even respond to my legal arguments, OSC deprived both me and the public of oversight over federal funds and civil rights.


What you can do:

• Share this post widely to raise awareness of how whistleblower protections can be undermined.

• Contact your congressional representatives and the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus to demand oversight of OSC’s handling of this case.

• If you are a whistleblower experiencing similar issues, document everything, use secure file‑sharing links instead of zip files, and consider copying multiple agencies and watchdog groups when you submit disclosures.


I will continue to pursue accountability through congressional channels, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, and public advocacy. Silencing a whistleblower doesn’t erase the evidence it only exposes the failure of those charged with protecting us.
