Child Care Assistance (CCAP): every entry

What Child Care Assistance (CCAP) is on this guide

Record · Documented

CCAP / Great Start childcare fraud · Shirley video overlap

CCAP reimburses real childcare. Prosecutors say some centers billed as if the kids — and the copays — were real when they were not. One charged center also sat in Nick Shirley’s viral daycare tour and in the Feeding Our Future nutrition web. Indictment ≠ guilt. ^[1]

Indictment is not guilt. Association is not knowledge. Declared cash is not a proven terror pipeline. ^[1]
