New state rules for child care fraud
This bill would require states to add fraud and accountability rules to their federal child care plans. Plans would have to describe the state's internal controls and how it documents and verifies eligibility. Plans would also describe how the state investigates and recovers improper payments and how it sanctions clients or providers. Plans would explain how the state shares and uses data across state and local agencies that oversee providers. Families getting child care help would face more checks and providers would face more investigations or penalties.
