The bill requires states to submit a corrective action plan and regular progress reports if their child care subsidy overpayment rate exceeds 5 percent in a year. States that stay above 5 percent for two consecutive years could lose eligibility for federal child care funding unless they show progress or a near-term fix.
State government agencies that administer the Child Care and Development Block Grant program would face new reporting requirements and funding risk. Low-income families who rely on child care subsidies could be indirectly affected.
States may need to tighten payment processes to avoid losing federal funding, which could slow or complicate access to child care subsidies for some families.
