Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CCDF subsidizes child care for low-income families whose parents work or attend education or training programs. States are responsible for determining program priorities and overseeing funds. Providers bill the state for caring for approved children. In response to program fraud and abuse, this report: (1) proactively tested selected states' fraud prevention controls; (2) examined closed case studies of fraud and abuse; and (3) interviewed parents waitlisted for child care about the effect of this lack of assistance on their families. To do this, investigators posed as parents and unregulated relative providers in 10 scenarios in five states with no waiting lists that each received more than $100 million in CCDF funding for FY 2009. A print on demand report.
