For Parents and Care Takers Any child care provider or parent in the PACEAPP program who submits false or misleading information to PACEAPP may be terminated. PACEAPP will pursue collection action in order to recover any state or federal funds that were provided for subsidized child care services.
These funds will be collected from the parent, provider and/or person(s) who commit the fraudulent act. This action is in accordance with Fraud Policy issued by the California Department of Education, Child Development Division.
Any of the following could constitute fraud:
. Failure to report loss of employment within five days due to termination, temporary layoff, and/or medical leave.
. Inaccurate reporting of actual attendance days of child care on the attendance report. If the provider and/or parent signs that care was provided for the days when it actually was not provided, then PACEAPP will recover funds from the parent and/or the provider.
. Fraudulent, false or misleading documentation regarding training programs, school, medical incapacitation, employment, family size attendance, and /or income.
. Failure to report receiving funds for child care services from another agency. PACEAPP will attempt to recover funds from the parent and/or provider. If the parent and/or provider does not return the funds, a claim will be filed with Small Claims Court. If the parent and/or provider still refuses to pay the claim, it will be referred to the District Attorney's Office.
