Back to EpisodesTexas Child Care Audit: Less Than 1% Improper Payments
Description
Texas Child Care Scholarship Fund Audit Reveals Minimal Fraud: Despite unverified claims of a $110 million fraud scheme in Minnesota, Texass child care scholarship fund audit found less than half a percent of federal money was improper. The states child care system is overwhelmed, with over 100,000 kids on waitlists and many areas lacking child care options. The audit flagged 125 high-risk providers out of 7,500, and Texas has significantly reduced improper payments since 2007. However, new rules may increase costs without stopping much fraud. The Senates health committee is seeking solutions to protect kids and funds without breaking the system.
