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.
