Wisconsin Shares Suspension

*At suspension unless otherwise noted

Rationale for Reasonable Suspicion of Program Violation:

The Department of Children and Families suspended this child care provider from the Wisconsin Shares program due to a combination of red flags signifying Shares violations and investigative findings. The Department has evidence that the provider significantly misrepresented the hours billed to the Wisconsin Shares Program. Surveillance showed that this provider billed for hours of care that the facility was not in operation. In addition, the Department has determined that 8 previous inaccurate attendance records violations (dates ranging from 6/20/06 through 7/28/10) constitutes an inability on the part of this particular provider to take corrective actions to curb fraudulent behavior. For the timeframe of 1/04/2010 – 7/24/2010 this provider was overpaid more than $43,000.
