Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant program. If a state's improper payment rate in the program is above 5 percent of its total program payments for a fiscal year, the state must submit a corrective action plan to the federal Secretary to bring the rate down to 5 percent or less, along with any reports the Secretary requires. If a state's rate is above 5 percent for two fiscal years in a row, the state would lose eligibility for program funds unless it shows the Secretary it will lower the rate to 5 percent or less, or make significant progress on its approved plan, in the next fiscal year.
