Tuberville, Cassidy Move to Eliminate Fraud in Federal Child Care Funding

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) in introducing the Strengthening Transparency and Oversight to Prevent (STOP) Child Care Fraud Act. This legislation aims to protect American families' tax dollars from fraudulent federal child care spending.

"I appreciate the Trump administration's efforts to root out waste, fraud, and abuse from our federal government," said Sen. Tuberville. "We need to do everything we can in the Senate to support President Trump's efforts and stand up for the American taxpayers. Under Tim Walz's watch, $19 billion taxpayer dollars were stolen for fake 'daycare centers.' I'm proud to join the Strengthening Transparency and Oversight to Prevent (STOP) Child Care Fraud Act to make sure this never happens again."

"Every dollar spent on fraudsters is a dollar stolen from a child and family in need," said Sen. Cassidy. "Americans trust us to use their federal tax dollars wisely. By strengthening accountability, we protect taxpayer dollars and ensure working families have access to quality child care."
