DHW ramps up work to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in Idaho Child Care Program

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is launching a major crackdown on child care subsidy mismanagement, aiming to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse within the Idaho Childcare Program.

In coordination with Governor Brad Little, the DHW is reallocating internal staff to conduct aggressive reviews of past payments and taking corrective actions, including terminating providers found violating state standards.
