The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Stop Child Care Funding Fraud Act of 2026," is to improve transparency and accountability in how federal child care funds are managed by states. It aims to reduce improper payments made with these funds, ensuring that the money is used correctly and efficiently for child care services. Key provisions of the law require states to report on the rate of improper payments they make with federal child care funds. States must submit these reports by June 30 of each program period.
