Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, which funds state child care assistance programs. It would require each state's child care plan to describe the state's internal controls for program integrity and accountability. The plan would also have to describe how the state investigates and recovers fraudulent payments, how it sanctions clients or providers for fraud, and how it documents and verifies eligibility. States would have to explain how they use data from other state and local agencies that oversee child care providers serving children who receive assistance.
