Bans child care providers who commit fraud from federal programs and tightens immigration rules for non-citizens.
This bill would permanently ban child care providers found guilty of fraud from receiving any federal child care assistance. It would also make non-citizen child care providers who commit fraud or support terrorism unable to enter or stay in the U.S. These changes aim to prevent misuse of federal funds and enhance national security.
Today, child care providers who commit fraud may face penalties, but there isn't a mandatory, permanent federal ban from all Department of Health and Human Services-funded child care programs. Non-citizen child care providers who commit fraud are not specifically targeted for inadmissibility or deportation based on this type of fraud. After this bill, child care providers found guilty of fraud would face a permanent, non-waivable ban from all federal child care assistance programs. Non-citizen child care providers who commit fraud or support terrorism would specifically be made inadmissible, deportable, and ineligible for certain immigration benefits, with expedited removal possible.
