Dear Child Care Providers,
We are writing today about recent news media about allegations of fraud in Minnesota’s child care system and the federal government’s changes to Child Care Assistance payment requirements and additional administrative steps that Iowa HHS may have to take.
Iowa HHS has reached out to federal officials, seeking additional guidance on what may be required. At this time, we do not have any further information, however we continue to process payment requests as we receive them.
We are committed to providing updates as we receive them. Please continue business operations as normal. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to Iowa’s children and families.
