Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to require States to make payments to child care providers based on verified attendance in child care programs, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Payment Integrity Act," amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to ensure that states, which are referred to as "lead agencies" in this context, make payments to child care providers based on the actual attendance of children in their programs, not just on how many children are enrolled. This means providers will be paid for the days children are present, and states must use attendance records or another reasonable method to verify this attendance. The bill also clarifies that states are not required to pay providers before child care services are delivered, and payments can be made after the services have been rendered.
