Mississippi needs to improve oversight of its child care payment program

Description:

Subsidized childcare services are available to assist low-income families, families receiving temporary public assistance, and families transitioning from public assistance to obtain child care so that family members can work or attend training or education. The services are funded partly by the States and partly by the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Federal program and are administered by the States. Previous audits and evaluations identified vulnerabilities in several States’ administration of the CCDF program. For the current audit, we reviewed Mississippi’s Child Care Payment Program for Federal fiscal years (FYs) 2016 and 2017. Our objective was to determine whether Mississippi complied with Federal and State requirements when making payments under its Child Care Payment Program for FYs 2016 and 2017. (author abstract)
