Cedar Rapids home care owner indicted on VA fraud charges
A federal grand jury charged Tiffani J. Linder with wire fraud and false statements tied to unprovided veteran services.
A 54-year-old Cedar Rapids woman who owned Linder Home Care faces federal charges for allegedly billing the Department of Veterans Affairs for home health services that were never delivered.
Tiffani J. Linder was indicted in June 2026 by a federal grand jury in Cedar Rapids on counts of wire fraud and making false statements, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa.
The indictment states that Linder submitted fraudulent claims to the VA for care that veterans did not receive and used the proceeds for personal benefit, the office said in a release.
Local veterans and their families who relied on the service now await further court proceedings in the case.
Linder Home Care operated in Cedar Rapids at the time of the alleged conduct.
