5.15.2 FAILURE TO PROVIDE CHILD CARE SERVICES AT ENROLLED ADDRESS AND/OR PROVIDING SERVICES AT A LOCATION THAT IS NOT ENROLLED AND OR WHICH THE CHILD IS NOT CONNECTED. Providers must notify ABC in advance of days the facility will be temporarily closed or if the facility is moving or permanently closing. Children must be served at the location for which they have been connected. If the provider has two or more locations enrolled, they may not switch or transport children between locations without notifying Child Care Scholarship Program for authorization. Children will appear on the SVL for the location in which they have been connected. When it is verified that children are being served at a location other than the enrolled address, the termination of enrollment process will be initiated.

Recoupment of the funds will also be initiated.

5.15.4 FRAUD/MISREPRESENTATION If a provider intentionally makes a false statement or misrepresents themselves regarding a material fact or fails to disclose a material fact that results in obtaining, attempting to obtain, or continuing to receive Child Care Scholarship Program funds which the provider would not otherwise qualify to receive, the termination of enrollment process will be initiated. Funds will be recouped for the period of time when the provider did not qualify for the funds.
