Wisconsin Shares Suspension

*At suspension unless otherwise noted

Rationale for Reasonable Suspicion of Program Violation:

The Department of Children and Families suspended all Wisconsin Shares payments to the provider based on a reasonable suspicion that the provider violated provisions of the Wisconsin Shares program. The suspension was based upon a combination of red flags indicating a likelihood of Shares violations and the following findings from the Department’s investigation including but not limited to: 1) the provider’s failure to maintain and submit accurate attendance records as required by the Shares program and 2) the provider’s failure to comply with the statutes, promulgated rules, or policies of the Wisconsin Shares program. The provider billed the Wisconsin Shares program for more hours than physically possible when considering capacity and licensed hours of operation in 30 out of 41 consecutive weeks. The provider also attempted to falsify attendance records when a Department representative visited the child care center immediately prior to providing copies to the Department.
