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 have attendance records available at the child care site when the department requested to review them; 2) the provider’s failure to maintain and submit accurate attendance records as required by the Shares program; and 3) the provider’s failure to comply with the statutes, promulgated rules, or policies of the Wisconsin Shares program.
During an onsite visit on 4/21/2011, the provider was unable to provide investigators with requested attendance records from 8/1/2010 through 2/2011. The Department made a subsequent request on 4/25/2011 via certified mail for the provider to submit the records by 4/28/2011. The provider did not submit the attendance records to the Department until 5/5/2011, however eight (8) weeks were missing from 8/1/2010 through 2/7/2011.
The Department has evidence that the provider
- Billed for children who did not appear on the attendance records.
- Billed for more hours than children actually attended.
