Summary
The Payment Integrity Act amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant law so that states must base payments to child‑care providers on verified attendance records rather than enrollment figures. It also states that payments may be made after the care is actually provided. The change is intended to ensure federal money is spent only for services that actually occur.
