Summary
The Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026 amends federal child care funding laws to strengthen fraud prevention and accountability measures. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to investigate fraud and permanently debar providers found to have committed fraud from receiving federal child care assistance. States must develop plans describing internal controls, fraud investigation processes, and eligibility verification procedures, and face conditional ineligibility if improper payment rates exceed 5 percent for two consecutive years. The bill also establishes periodic federal monitoring of state performance and eliminates the Secretary's authority to waive sanctions for noncompliance.
