The Stop Child Care Fraud Act of 2026 would require states to add new fraud-prevention information to their plans for the Child Care and Development Block Grant program. States would need to describe internal controls, fraud investigation and recovery methods, penalties for fraud, eligibility verification steps, and information-sharing with other agencies.
State governments running child care assistance programs would face new reporting requirements. Families receiving assistance and child care providers accepting payments could also be indirectly affected.
States may need to create stricter verification or monitoring processes as a result of the new requirements. The bill does not change eligibility rules or funding levels, focusing instead on transparency around fraud prevention.
