Child care funds withheld for fraud
If enacted, this bill would require the Secretary to withhold federal child care (CCDBG) funds when the law's fraud conditions are met. It would do this by changing the phrase "Secretary may" to "Secretary shall" in the CCDBG withholding rule. If passed, states, child care providers, and families in areas with official fraud findings would risk losing federal money while enforcement would be more consistent.
