Medicaid Fraud Control
The Office of the New York State Attorney General, headed by Letitia James, is responsible for carrying out essential defensive, regulatory, and affirmative justice functions throughout the state. With regional offices located in Binghamton, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Harlem, Nassau, Plattsburgh, Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Suffolk, Syracuse, Utica, Watertown, and Westchester, the office investigates and takes action to protect consumers, civil rights, charitable donations, workers' rights, and the environment. Each regional office, led by an Attorney in Charge and staffed with Assistant Attorneys General, represents the state, its officers, and agencies in court actions and addresses matters of social and economic justice in their respective communities. Engaged in local community affairs, the regional offices conduct outreach, educational presentations, and respond to complaints in critical areas such as elder abuse, consumer fraud, tenants' rights, immigration services fraud, election fraud, and not-for-profit corporations.Generated from the website
