*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 Department has evidence that the provider:

  • Billed for more hours than children actually attended.
  • Billed for children who did not appear on the attendance records or were marked as absent on the attendance records.
  • Billed for children who were not in attendance.
  • Billed for children at the same time when the provider was working at another child care center.
