This bill requires states to include fraudulent payments when tracking overpayments in the Child Care and Development Block Grant program. States must also submit annual reports to HHS breaking down improper payments into categories: suspected fraud, verified fraud, non-fraudulent overpayments, underpayments, and technical or system errors.
State agencies that administer child care subsidy programs would face new reporting and administrative requirements. Families receiving child care assistance and child care providers who receive subsidy payments could see increased oversight and scrutiny.
Stricter monitoring and standardized fraud reporting could lead to more oversight of how child care payments are issued and verified.
