The Gaylord City Council,during a meeting on Wednes-day night, June 20, approvedthe 26-year Tax Increment Fi-nancing (TIF) district for theproposed Minnesota Collegeof Osteopathic Medicine withlittle discussion among CityCouncil members.

Northland Securities repre-sentative Tammy Omdal,who serves as a consultant tothe City of Gaylord, reviewedthe process for establishing aTIF district beginning withthe city receiving an applica-tion from the Danza Group toestablish a TIF district. Thenthe Sibley East School Dis-trict and Sibley County werenotified at least 30 days be-fore the public hearing. Shesaid there were no commentsfrom the school district.Omdal stated that the CityCouncil would act on the res-olution establishing the TIFdistrict or delay it. Beforeapproving it, the City Councilneeded to determine, “butfor” this TIF district, the proj-ect would not be feasible.Omdal stated that ultimatelythe City Council determinesthe “but for” test. She point-ed out that the city wouldhave no obligation to pay thefull amount if the property isnot valued as high as expect-ed or if it is valued higher, thecity can decertify the districtsooner.

QuestionsGaylord resident Diana

Karau asked about the $70million bond and stated thatshe did not know the city wasrequired to hold a publichearing declaring that infor-mation was not included inthe public notice. Karau saidshe did not know that the cityhad to give Wisconsin PublicFinance Authority permissionto issue bonds.

Karau stated that she wouldappreciate some answers be-cause she stated she hadasked and was not gettingany. She was also disap-

pointed that the average citi-zen cannot understand whatthey are being asked to sup-port.

Karau also questioned whythe building is now consid-ered substandard and why thecity never offered the build-ing to anyone else. She statedthat the City Council did notknow if anyone else wouldlike it because it has neverbeen promoted to anyone.

Sibley County residentPete Schuckert asked if theCity Council would considera shorter TIF district as theCounty Board had requestedand asked if abatement wouldbe a better way to go.

Addressing Concerns

Phil Keithahn, who repre-sents the proposed MinnesotaCollege of Osteopathic Medi-cine, was asked to come for-ward to address the citizenconcerns. Keithahn gave ahistory of Gaylord businesssubsidies and private devel-oper investments as well asthe economic impact of Gay-lord’s many TIF districts.

Keithahn spoke to RS Fiberstating that bonds for RSFiber would be satisfied if 45percent of residents signed upand even if RS Fiber fails itwill only cost residents $7.80per month, stating the Gay-lord residents have clearlybenefited from RS Fiber.

Keithahn also stated thathome values for the 13 prop-erties around the projectwould increase. He felt thateven if property taxes onthose homes increase itwould clearly be an economicbenefit for them.

Keithahn said the reasonthe city needed to approve theWisconsin Public FinancingAuthority to provide financ-ing for the project is becausethe entity is doing business inMinnesota.

Mayor Don Boederthanked Keithahn for “help-ing Gaylord prosper.”

Karau came back and stat-

ed that Keithahn answeredmany of her questions, butstated that she requested pub-lic information and the Cityrefused to provide it to her.

Gaylord City Attorney DonLannoye chastised Karau. Hesaid it was openly not truethat the City of Gaylord hasnot provided public informa-tion and that it was not appro-priate for the City Council toput up with information that“simply is not true.”

ActionThe Gaylord City Council

unanimously approved reso-lutions establishing the de-velopment of district 5, ap-proving the development pro-gram, establishing TIF dis-trict 5-1, and approving thetax increment financing plan;authorizing an interfund loanfor advance of certain costs inconnection with TIF district5-1; and approving WisconsinPublic Financing Authority toprovide financing for the pro-posed Minnesota College ofOsteopathic Medicine. TheCity Council tabled the reso-lution approving a develop-ment agreement because Kei-thahn said the school’s attor-neys had not had time to re-view and provide commenton the development agree-ment.

Other NewsIn other news, the City

Council was not as receptiveto a request by Paul Maxwellof Ratcliff Development,LLC, to sign a purchaseagreement for a parcel nearthe Gaylord Area AquaticCenter for the construction ofa Dollar General. City Coun-cilmember Jessica Ueckerwas vehement that the pro-posal should have come tothe EDA and Planning andZoning before coming to theCity Council. Lannoye cor-rected her, that it was accept-able to come directly to theCity Council, but he wantedmore time to consider thepurchase agreement.

Gaylord City Council approves the medical school TIF district

The Green Isle City Coun-cil, during its regular meetingon Tuesday night, June 26,unanimously approved a mo-tion to direct Ehlers & Associ-

ates to start a Tax IncrementFinancing (TIF) study for theIndustrial Park.

Mayor Joe Kreger and CityCouncil members DianeBrown, Shawn Harms, JohnSchauer and Mark Wentzlaff

all voted in favor of the mo-tion.

The City of Green Isle hasbeen working with Bartels fora new business in the Industri-al Park, according to Econom-ic Development Authority

(EDA) Director Amy New-som.

The proposed plan is for theconstruction of a $10-plusmillion building, Newsomsaid.

There would be a cost to the

City of Green Isle of $10,000to conduct the TIF study, ac-cording to Newsom. The citywould recoup that moneythrough the final TIF District.

Newsom said the new busi-ness “is looking at having a

shovel in the ground by Oct.1.”

The Arlington City Council,during its last two regularmeetings, voted 4-1 andadopted a pair of resolutionsto first approve and second torevise the Commercial Build-ings and Lots Policy.

The resolutions create crite-ria for the sale of city ownedlots and buildings at a reducedprice as an incentive to buildor move to the City of Arling-ton, according to ArlingtonEconomic Development Au-thority (EDA) Director AmyNewsom. The goal is to in-crease the tax base for theCity of Arlington.

According to the new poli-cy, city owned buildings andlots with an assessed value ofless than $250,000 will besold for $1 when the businesscreates 15 full-time equivalentpositions based in the City ofArlington.

City owned buildings andlots with an assessed value ofless than $250,000 will besold for $5,000 when the busi-ness creates 10 full-timeequivalent positions based inthe City of Arlington.

City owned buildings andlots with an assessed value ofless than $250,000 will besold for $10,000 when the

business creates five full-timeequivalent positions based inthe City of Arlington.

If a lot(s) is purchased for$1 or $10,000 and construc-tion is not started within 180days of closing, the lot(s) willbe returned to the City of Ar-lington. The purchase pricewill be refunded, minus theclosing costs.

Commercial buildings andlots that do not meet any ofthe mentioned criteria will besold at the market rate value.

The closing will occur with-in four months of signing thepurchase agreement.

City Council membersMichelle Battcher, AdamCowell, Tom Hatlestad andJames Jaszewski all voted infavor of both resolutions.

City Council member JimHeiland voted against bothresolutions. Heiland struggledwith the thought to sell a lotor building for one dollar.

The City Council made themove based on recommenda-tions from the ArlingtonEDA.

ApplicationThe City Council unani-

mously approved a resolutionto approve the Business Assis-tance Application.

The City of Arlington has

never had an application fortax abatement of tax incre-ment financing (TIF), accord-ing to Newsom.

The City Council made themove based on a recommen-dation from the ArlingtonEDA.

Child Care LoanThe City Council unani-

mously approved a resolutionto approve the terms of a loanto Ruether’s Roose Childcarefrom the Arlington EDA ChildCare Program.

The forgiveable loan is inthe amount of $1,000 or 50percent of the actual projectcost, whichever is less, forRuether’s Roose Childcareowned by Mackenzie Ruether.

The purpose of the loan isto help new daycares by cov-ering the costs of startup ex-penses, according to Newsom.

It is the second loan grantedto a new daycare in the Cityof Arlington during the pastcouple months.

The City Council made themove based on a recommen-dation of the Arlington EDA.

The Arlington City Councilwill hold its next regularmeeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,July 2.

Nienaber reported thatthere was a state grant avail-able and that $1 million wasavailable statewide. Nien-

aber was looking to theCounty Board for guidanceon the amount to apply forand the amount of match thecounty would be willing toput in.

County CommissionerBill Pinske felt that thecounty should apply for anygrants available, but Nien-aber was concerned aboutthe requirement to use thefunds by the end of 2019.

It was the consensus ofthe County Board to applyfor $200,000, with thecounty agreeing to match

$150,000 and asking theCity of Arlington to matchan additional $150,000 tocover the cost of the$500,000 tower.

*****After losing another tooth, eight-

year-old Timmy became more curi-ous about the elusive tooth fairy.

Finally putting two and two to-gether, he came right out and askedhis mother, “Mom, are you the toothfairy?”

Assuming he was old enough tohear the truth, she replied, “Yes, Iam.”

Timmy seemed to take this newsquite well. But as he headed for thedoor, he slowly turned back towardhis mother with a curious look on hisface and said, “Wait a minute. Howdo you get into the other kids’houses?”

Sally’s dad signed her reportcard, putting a note on the back:“Sally gets it from her mother.Please let me know if your ideaworks.”

Arlington City Council todiscuss whether or not

to allow chickens in townOur View: Approval could rufflesome feathers in the community

The Arlington City Council, during its recent regular meeting,learned that four or five local residents may have chickens intheir backyards.

That news has set the scene for the City Council to hold aworkshop and discuss whether or not to regulate the keeping andraising of chickens (no roosters) within the city limits. The cur-rent ordinance prohibits chickens in the city limits.

Like all issues, the pros and cons of both sides should be dis-cussed, debated and considered.

For people who want chickens, the venture can be an educa-tional experience for kids and produce delicious and nutritiouseggs and eventually meat for families. Chickens can also pro-vide a source of entertainment. On the down side, there is theexpense of a chicken coop and feed. The venture is also a 365day job. Chickens need food and fresh water every day and peo-ple need to collect eggs on a daily basis.

In the end, however, the City Council needs to determine whatis best for the community as a whole. The City Council mustfirst find out if the majority of local residents support or opposesuch a move. Arlington already has a host of regulations and or-dinances. Do local residents want another one? Who will moni-tor the situation to determine if people are in compliance? Willsuch an ordinance create neighbor disputes. These are just someof the questions that the City Council needs to consider.

Again, it is always good for the City Council to thoroughlydiscuss creative ideas. At the same time, however, the CityCouncil should not lose focus of the real priorities in townwhich include the emergency radio antenna issue, new land foran industrial park and flooded areas and streets due to heavy rainjust to name a few.

Letters To The Editor

To The Editor,Not surprisingly, last Wednesday

the City of Gaylord City Councilunanimously approved the establish-ment of Tax Increment Financing(TIF) District 5-1 (Medical SchoolProject Phase 1), otherwise knownas the beginning of the tax subsidiesthat will be awarded to Phil Kei-thahn’s numerous developmentgroups beginning with this TIF dis-trict and others to surely follow.$5.7 million is the projected tax sub-sidy that will be rebated to the de-velopers over the next 25 years onthis one, some of it interest on TIFnotes. Yeah, you try to make senseof over 100 pages of information re-lated to this TIF request!

Though the City Council Cham-bers was filled to capacity, the pub-lic hearing yielded only two citizencomments; my comments and those

of District 5 County Commissionercandidate Peter Schuckert. PhilKeithahn also spoke for approxi-mately 20 minutes; beginning hispresentation outlining questions thatI have asked about the benefits ofTIF for over a year, and proceedingto deliver a long drawn out list ofdata he has compiled on TIF’s andbonds issued by the City of Gaylordover the last 35 years. As I have notclosely reviewed the data I cannotsay that it proved the point Keithahnattempted hard to make. What I cansay and did say to the City Councilis why has it taken so long to pro-vide answers to all the questions thathave been asked of the City of Gay-lord all this time? Of course not onesingle Council member responded tothis question, which again was nosurprise.

I left the public hearing disap-

pointed, but not surprised; after allthe makeup of the Council has notchanged as of yet and I can onlyhope for better local leadership afterthe November election. I also leftthe public hearing trying to figureout why in the world Keithahnwould say and actually believe onecomment he made (this is not quot-ed verbatim, but close), “…propertyvalues will increase…and even if aproperty owner has to borrowmoney to pay their taxes this canstill be seen as an economic benefitof TIF…” Keithahn and I must beliving in alternate universes, becauseif I have to borrow money to pay mytaxes, it means I can’t afford to ownmy house – hopefully you can!

Borrow money to pay property taxes?

To The Editor,There aren’t enough people giving

blood through the American RedCross. In fact, for the past fouryears, new blood donors have de-clined by about 80,000 each year. Inan effort to reverse that trend, we’velaunched the Missing Types cam-paign.

To raise awareness for the needfor blood donors, businesses, organ-izations and individuals across thecountry are joining the MissingTypes movement by removing theA’s, B’s and O’s, the main blood

groups, from signage, websites andpublic-facing platforms. The goal ofMissing Types is to get people totake notice and take action by donat-ing blood.

Blood donations help people un-dergoing cancer treatment, those re-ceiving organ transplants, accidentvictims and other patients. As theExecutive Director of the SouthwestMinnesota Chapter of the RedCross, I meet so many people whoselives have been impacted, if notsaved, by blood transfusions. AndI’m not alone. According to recent

research conducted on behalf of theRed Cross, nearly 45 percent of thepublic know someone who has beenhelped by a blood transfusion. De-spite nearly half of us knowingsomeone who has need donatedblood, only 3 percent of the U.S.population donates each year.

On behalf of the Red Cross, I’minviting you to fill the MissingTypes by giving blood this summer.

Leah PockrandtExecutive Director

Consider giving blood this summer

To The Editor,I believe that the Republican led

Minnesota legislature is largely re-sponsible for the legislature not fin-ishing its work this session. Accord-ing to the editor of Mankato FreePress, the process the republicansused of omnibus bills was unconsti-tutional. They were well aware ofthis but chose to do it anyway.

These actions resulted in the fol-lowing: a loss of funding to makeMinnesota schools safer; failure toconform Minnesota tax laws withthe federal government; avoiding afunding cut for personal care atten-dants who care for our most vulner-able citizens; failure to address theophioid crisis, just to mention a fewof the important issues not ad-

dressed.Governor Dayton warned the leg-

islature many times to send thesebills to him as stand alone bills.Their failure to heed his warningsresulted in unnecessary politicalgridlock. Minnesotans deserve bet-ter!

Legislature could have finished its work

To The Editor,I attended the County Commis-

sioners meeting at Gaylord a coupleweeks ago. They talked about TaxIncrement Financing (TIF). I think ifGaylord wants TIF then let them payfor TIF.

You see when a farmer buys afarm this farmer has to pay for thefarm himself. I’ve never seen orheard of a farmer getting a tax breaklike so many businesses get whenthey put up a building.

Another issue, the news media

should tell the whole story about thechildren being separated from theirparents. From what I’ve heard on theTV news but only a few times, whenthe children get separated from theparents it’s because the parents had acriminal record against them. Peopleshould go to the border of entry andthey can ckeck if they are a criminalor not. Don’t sneak into the UnitedStates when they have a criminalrecord. Go through the border gates.

Another issue, if they want tocome to our country, then speak our

English language. When our forefa-thers came and went to school theyhad to learn our language. Like alocal company that had some immi-grants working there and asked theirworkers to learn the immigrants’ lan-guage. The workers said no, let theimmigrants learn English. Our par-ents had to learn English.

Just my opinion.Hilary Sauter

Gaylord should pay for TIF

Summariesof all laws passed by the 2018Legislature are available on-line from nonpartisan HousePublic Information Services athttp://www.house.mn/newlaws/#/search/2018.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

New law makes changes toTaconite Economic Develop-ment Fund

A new law clarifies the useof the Taconite Economic De-velopment Fund and restrictsthe use of the Douglas J.Johnson Economic ProtectionTrust Fund.

Sponsored by Rep. SandyLayman (R-Cohasset) andSen. Justin Eichorn (R-GrandRapids), the law takes effectJuly 1, 2018, unless otherwisenoted.

The law will allow funds tobe released from the TaconiteEconomic Development Fundbefore the next Iron RangeResources and RehabilitationBoard meeting and redirectsunused matching funds to theTaconite Environmental Pro-tection Fund.

It redirects unused amountsin the development fund ex-clusively to the environmentalfund, rather than splitting left-over money with the econom-ic protection fund.

Among other changes, thelaw:

• restricts spending, appro-priations or transfers from theDouglas J. Johnson EconomicProtection Trust Fund to thoselisted in statute;

• extends distributions tothe Iron Range School Con-solidation and CooperativelyOperated School Account to2018 and 2019 (effective fordistributions beginning in2018 and thereafter); and

• specifies that, for the 2018distribution only, if there ismoney left in the TaconiteProperty Tax Relief Accountafter the required property taxrelief payments, 10 cents perton will be sent to the Iron

Range Resources and Reha-bilitation Account (effectivefor the 2018 distribution —the transfer must be madewithin 10 days of the August2018 payment).

HEALTHAthletic trainers now need

a license to train athletesA new law will shift athletic

trainers from a registrationsystem to a licensure system.

The new law, mostly effec-tive July 1, 2018, will allowcurrently registered trainers tohave their registration con-verted to a license at the timeof their next renewal.

Rep. Mary Franson (R-Alexandria), who sponsors thelaw with Sen. Jim Abeler (R-Anoka), said this will betterprotect the public, in part, be-cause potential trainers arenow required to complete abackground check in order toreceive a license.

The law also changes howsupervised hours required tobe a licensed psychologistwill be counted. In addition torequiring two hours per week,aspiring licensees must com-plete a total of 100 hours ofsupervision.

HF822/SF614*/CH143

STATE GOVERNMENTBudget office tweaksA 2017 law created a Leg-

islative Budget Office. Thisyear’s capital investment lawcontains a number of smallchanges, including removal ofthe office from jurisdiction ofthe Legislative CoordinatingCommission, and establishingduties for its director (whowill be deemed a public offi-cial). These are effective July1, 2018.

Also effective July 1, thelaw calls for establishment ofa Legislative Budget OfficeOversight Commission.

Sponsored by Rep. TimMiller (R-Prinsburg) and Sen.Rich Draheim (R-MadisonLake), the infrastructure-heavy capital investment lawcalls for $825 million in gen-eral obligation bonding.

Rep. Dean Urdahl (R-GroveCity) and Sen. David Senjem(R-Rochester), chairs of the

respective capital investmentcommittees, used the Miller-Draheim bill on the final dayof session to incorporateagreed-upon bonding lan-guage.

HF4425*/SF4021/CH214More than $230,000 for

former prisonersEach year, a joint House-

Senate Subcommittee onClaims decides which claimsagainst the state it shouldfund. This year’s law calls for$261,293 in payments in Fis-cal Year 2019, the bulk ofwhich will go to three menwho were wrongly impris-oned.

Enacted in 2014, the Im-prisonment and ExonerationRemedies Act is a compensa-tion process for cases where aperson was exonerated of afelony for which they werewrongfully incarcerated.

Three such cases will becovered under this year’s law:

• $131,636 to Ronnie Pat-terson, who spent 679 days inprison and 131 days on super-vised release;

• $82,500 to Hollis Larson,who spent 432 days in prisonand 93 days on supervised re-lease; and

• $20,446 for Sammy Jack-son, who served 104 days inprison.

The law, effective July 1,2018, will also provide$10,209 for a former Stillwa-ter prison inmate who sus-tained permanent injuries —including a partial amputation— to three fingers while per-forming assigned duties, and$4,195 to cover five claimsagainst the Department ofCorrections by individualswho suffered injuries whileincarcerated, or performingcommunity service or sen-tence-to-service work.

A $12,305 claim against theRevenue Department is in-cluded for taxes improperlypaid to the state for transac-tions occurring in SouthDakota.

Rep. Duane Quam (R-Byron) and Sen. Bruce Ander-son (R-Buffalo) are the spon-sors.

noon, June 23. Also pictured are Zach Herd,Ben Alexander (24), Josh Kraby (9) and An-drew Leonhardt (15).

Population counts showedgood results for severalspecies of ducks that nest inMinnesota, according to theresults of the annual Depart-ment of Natural Resourcesspring waterfowl surveys.

“Mallard, blue-winged tealand Canada goose countswere all improved from lastyear,” said Steve Cordts,DNR waterfowl specialist.“The survey is designed formallards and our breedingmallard population remainsabove its long-term average.”

This year’s mallard breed-ing population was estimatedat 295,000, which is 38 per-cent above last year’s estimateof 214,000 breeding mallardsand 30 percent above thelong-term average measuredeach year since 1968.

The blue-winged teal popu-lation is 191,000 this year, 20percent above last year’s esti-mate and 10 percent belowthe long-term average.

The combined populationsof other ducks such as ring-necked ducks, wood ducks,gadwalls, northern shovelers,canvasbacks and redheads is207,000, which is 21 percentlower than last year and 15percent above the long-termaverage.

The estimate of total breed-ing duck abundance (exclud-ing scaup) is 693,000, whichis 9 percent higher than lastyear and 12 percent above thelong-term average.

The estimated number ofwetlands was 1 percent lowerthan last year and 4 percentabove the long-term average.Wetland numbers can varygreatly based on annual pre-cipitation.

The survey is used to esti-mate the number of breedingducks or breeding geese thatnest in the state rather thansimply migrate through. Inaddition to the counts by theDNR, the continental water-fowl population estimates willbe released by the U.S. Fishand Wildlife Service later thissummer.

DNR Survey MethodsThe same waterfowl survey

has been done each year since1968 to provide an annualindex of breeding duck abun-dance. The survey covers 40percent of Minnesota and in-cludes much of the state’s bestremaining duck breedinghabitat.

A DNR waterfowl biologistand pilot count all waterfowland wetlands along estab-

lished survey routes by flyinglow-level aerial surveys froma fixed-wing plane. The sur-vey is timed to begin in earlyMay to coincide with peaknesting activity of mallards.The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService provides groundcrews who also count water-fowl along some of the samesurvey routes. These data arethen used to correct for birdsnot seen by the aerial crew.

Canada GeeseThis year’s Canada goose

population was estimated at162,000 geese, similar to lastyear’s estimate of 152,000geese and 2 percent above thelong-term average.

“We had very unusualweather conditions thisspring, with the mid-Aprilblizzard and record late ice-outs. April temperatures werethe third coldest on record andMay temperatures were thefourth warmest on record,”Cordts said. “This likely im-pacted geese more than ducks,with an extremely late, andprobably reduced, goosehatch.”

The 2018 Minnesota water-fowl report is available atmndnr.gov/hunting/waterfowl.

Breeding duck and Canada goose numbers improved from last year, according to DNR

USDA Resumes Continuous Conservation

Reserve Program Enrollment

One-Year Extension Avail-able to Holders of Many Ex-piring Contracts through Con-tinuous Signup

As part of a 33-year effortto protect sensitive lands andimprove water quality andwildlife habitat on privatelands, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) will re-sume accepting applicationsfor the voluntary Conserva-tion Reserve Program (CRP).Eligible farmers, ranchers,and private landowners cansign up at their local FarmService Agency (FSA) officebetween June 4 and Aug. 17,

2018. FSA stopped accepting ap-

plications last fall for the CRPcontinuous signup (excludingapplications for the Conserva-tion Reserve EnhancementProgram (CREP) and CRPgrasslands). This pause al-lowed USDA to review avail-able acres and avoid exceed-ing the 24 million-acre CRPcap set by the 2014 Farm Bill.New limited practice avail-ability and short sign up peri-od helps ensure that landown-ers with the most sensitiveacreage will enroll in the pro-gram and avoid unintendedcompetition with new and be-ginning farmers seeking leas-es. CRP enrollment currentlyis about 22.7 million acres.

2018 Signup for CRP For this year’s signup, lim-

ited priority practices areavailable for continuous en-rollment. They includegrassed waterways, filterstrips, riparian buffers, wet-land restoration and others.View a full list of practices.

FSA will use updated soilrental rates to make annualrental payments, reflectingcurrent values. It will notoffer incentive payments aspart of the new signup.

USDA will not open a gen-eral signup this year, however,a one-year extension will beoffered to existing CRP par-ticipants with expiring CRPcontracts of 14 years or less.Producers eligible for an ex-tension will receive a letterwith more information.

Editor’s Note: The follow-ing article was submitted bythe Office of Minnesota Attor-ney General Lori Swanson.

Over 55 million people re-ceive Medicare benefits, in-cluding about 950,000 Min-nesotans. In the past,Medicare cards have includedbeneficiaries’ Social SecurityNumbers (“SSN”) to helpidentify them and processtheir claims. To help protectagainst identity theft,Medicare is issuing newcards without people’s SSNs.Unfortunately, scammers aretrying to take advantage ofthe transition to new cards todefraud Medicare beneficiar-ies.

Changes To The Medicare Card

A federal law requires thatSSNs be removed from allMedicare cards by April2019. The new cards will usea unique “Medicare Benefici-ary Identifier” (“MBI”) toidentify people rather thantheir SSN. MBIs will have 11characters, including a com-bination of numbers and up-percase letters. An exampleMBI provided by CMS is:1EG4-TE5-MK73.

What To KnowCMS began sending new

Medicare cards to beneficiar-ies in April 2018 and willcontinue to do so on a rollingbasis until April 2019. New

cards are being sent to benefi-ciaries in waves based, inpart, on the state in whichthey live. According to CMS,Minnesota is in wave three,which will occur sometimeafter June 2018.

New Medicare cards aresent automatically to benefi-ciaries. There is no activationprocess or fee to receive anew card, and beneficiariesdo not need to take any actionto receive their new card aslong as the address they haveon file with Social Security iscorrect. Moreover, CMSstates that it will not call ben-eficiaries and ask them toprovide personal or financialinformation to receive a newMedicare card.

How The Scam WorksNew Medicare cards are

being issued to prevent fraud,but con artists are alreadyperpetrating new scams in anattempt to take advantage ofthe process. The scams vary,but typically begin with aphone call from a scammerposing as a representative ofMedicare or another govern-ment agency, and attemptingto get the beneficiary to re-veal personal information.Under one variation, scam-mers ask a beneficiary to paya processing fee to receive oractivate their new Medicarecard. The scammer may eventhreaten to cancel a beneficia-ry’s Medicare benefits if they

don’t pay the fee. In anothervariation, the scammer claimsthat the beneficiary must ver-ify his or her SSN to receivetheir new Medicare card. Thescam artist can use this infor-mation to commit identitytheft. In yet another variation,the scam artist claims a bene-ficiary is owed a refund for atransaction on their old cardand asks the beneficiary forhis or her bank account infor-mation to process the sup-posed refund. The scammercan use this information todrain the beneficiary’s bankaccount.

Who To ContactIf you receive a suspicious

call, hang up and report theincident to CMS by calling(800) 633-4227. People tar-geted by this scam are alsoencouraged to report the mat-ter to the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation by calling (763)569-8000 and the FederalTrade Commission by calling(877) 382-4357.
