H.R.7723

Safeguarding Taxpayer Dollars in Child Care Act aims to debar child care providers found guilty of fraud from receiving financial assistance.

The Safeguarding Taxpayer Dollars in Child Care Act seeks to prevent fraud in the Child Care and Development Block Grant program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. It mandates permanent debarment for providers found guilty of fraud, including knowingly submitting false statements or documentation, misrepresenting eligibility, or making improper expenditures. The Act also requires investigations into fraud and applies to both the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 and the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
