AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, which funds state child care assistance programs. It adds fraudulent payments to an existing section of the law that deals with overpayments. It also requires each state to send the federal Secretary a yearly report on the dollar amount and percentage of improper payments the state made. The report must break these payments into standard categories set by the Secretary, such as suspected and verified fraud, non-fraudulent overpayments, underpayments, and technical errors like system errors.
