Stop Child Care Fraud Act of 2026

Introduced·2/26/26

Stop Child Care Fraud Act of 2026 aims to enhance program integrity and accountability in child care assistance programs.

The Stop Child Care Fraud Act of 2026 amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to mandate that states include a description of their program integrity and accountability measures in their child care plans. This includes detailing how states use data across agencies, their internal controls, processes for investigating and recovering fraudulent payments, sanctions for fraud, and procedures for verifying eligibility. The goal is to ensure transparency and accountability in child care assistance programs.
