Ohio proposes facial photos and enrollment payments to combat child care fraud after federal concerns, despite existing safeguards.
Ohio lawmakers are pushing bills to tighten fraud prevention in the state’s child care system, including requiring facial photos of children and shifting to enrollment-based payments, following federal concerns sparked by unsubstantiated allegations in Minnesota.
The state’s Department of Children and Youth reported 124 integrity referrals in 2025, leading to 24 providers blocked from funding, 70 corrective actions, and $2.5 million in overpayments identified.
Despite existing safeguards like 10,600 annual unannounced inspections, data analysis, and verification tools, proponents say new measures would enhance detection.
Critics argue current systems are sufficient and new rules could burden providers.
